1. I've donated to ACT BLUE many times. However, I've started

to simplify the transaction by going directly to candidate websites to donate. That way I'm more confident my money goes to the candidate of my choice.

2. Our four DU links go directly to the specified candidate

There is no other middle man. The candidate only pays the credit card fee by law. The DU has raised over $11,000 since May 1 for the four candidates.

WHERE DOES MY MONEY GO?

It goes directly to the candidate or cause you specify when you give. Campaigns and organizations use the fundraising software on our site to enable you to make your contribution. We act as the conduit for your contribution, passing the donation on. The cost of processing the contribution (mostly credit card fees), comes out of your contribution. We are legally required to charge that fee.

As a non-profit, tips are how we pay our bills. We don’t profit from the contributions going through our site. You can add your tip on the contribution form where you enter your credit card information.

Fees all vendors pay to use your credit card from a vendors perspective: http://paysimple.com/credit_card_rates_explained.html

IF you give a tip it goes to Act Blue, the most successful Democratic $ raising PAC for their in house expenses like rent, payroll, IT, etc.
