ActBlue Account Setup

ActBlue is an online fundraising platform built specifically for Democratic candidates. It’s quick to set up, easy to use, and provides a secure way to collect donations for your campaign.

Important: Before creating your ActBlue account, it's strongly recommended that you set up a separate campaign email address. This keeps your campaign operations organized and distinct from your personal correspondence.

Choosing How You Receive Donations

Once your account is active, you have two options for receiving funds:

  • Check by mail from ActBlue
  • Direct deposit to your campaign bank account

Both options are valid, and it comes down to personal preference. Just make sure you keep track of every donation, no matter how small. Accurate record-keeping is essential for campaign finance reporting.
