UPDATE: I have added Fair Fight as an option to donate to by request. A donation to fair Fight is optional and not mandatory.

Info on Fair Fight: https://fairfight.com/

You can automatically split it in thirds OR designate a certain amount to Ossoff, Warnock, or Fair Fight.

Tips to NON-PROFIT ActBlue are optional. ActBlue makes no $ from you donation. Tips are how ActBlue is funded.

Just got an E mail that they are matching 300%.

[Omaha Steve]

6. It is not the DSCC

There is no match with the DU link.

24. A few quick questions...

(1) While I donated to various candidates during election season, I opted to mostly go through the candidates' own donation sites rather than use DU's; I assumed they would always get more money that way, rather than using a middleman, which may take a portion of the donation. If I donate, say, $20 to them via DU, will the entire $20 go to them, or will some get redirected to DU or some other entity?

(2) Do you all give/sell away our email addresses when we donate? Lord knows I am still fighting through a backlog of random websites asking me to donate through them for various candidates/causes, and it's kinda annoying and a lot of work to go through and process all those unsubscribes, etc. I donate when I can and never has one of those freak-out email solicitations got me to donate when I wouldn't have otherwise.

Thank you!

25. How ActBlue Works

Thanks for asking. Most candidates use ActBlue.

Out of $20, 3.95% goes to the credit card company. The same amount going through the candidates own site would be charged. The DU gets nothing from your donation.

ActBlue does not sell OR send emails or texts. You will get a receipt email for a donation.

ActBlue is a non-profit PAC funded entirely by optional tips.

Besides Ossoff and Warnock, we are also raising funds for Fair Fight (STACEY ABRAMS) as an option. Fair Fight is a national voting rights organization rooted in Georgia: https://fairfight.com/about-fair-fight/

I hope this answers your questions. IF not just ask for more info.

We want as many groups as possible to be able to create strong grassroots fundraising programs. Our platform is available to Democratic candidates and committees, progressive organizations, and nonprofits that share our values for no cost besides a 3.95% processing fee on donations. And we operate as a conduit, which means donations made through ActBlue to a campaign or organization are considered individual donations. You can read more about our structure here.

We take care of building fundraising tools and technology so the groups using our platform can focus on engaging and communicating with their supporters — we don't fundraise, donate, or send texts or emails on behalf of any group. And as a nonprofit ourselves, we’re funded by our own amazing small-dollar donors!

26. Okay, thanks! I will start donating through our DU ActBlue links then.

And, yes, I had been donating through ActBlue before, but just the ActBlue links from the candidate webpages rather than go through a conduit like DU since I was worried that such places might take a cut of the donation and less would go to the candidates themselves. It sounds like that is not the case, so I can feel safe donating through here. Thanks for the quick answer!
