1. Why donate through these instead of directly to the campaign?

I get hit with donation pleas from multiple sources. Is there any reason I should donate through them than direct to the campaign? Does it pass through any campaign finance loopholes that allow me to exceed donor limits?

All the campaigns use Act Blue to raise funds. Using the links won't increase the emails you get. Our links just allows us to show how much our links have raised. As of now we have raised $46,382 from 1,555 contributions. I consider that a success.
