DownBallot helped us build the kind of disciplined, high-performing campaign usually out of reach for local races.

Call Time

Fundraising discipline for candidates who need every donor call to count.

Call time (calling supporters for donations) is the source of 80% of fundraising for local campaigns. We treat it like the integral part of your fundraising operation that it is. We staff every session, manage your call time data, and help you pitch close friends, new prospects, PACs, and supporters alike.

Compliance

Campaign finance support that keeps your books clean and files your reports ahead of schedule.

Local campaigns deserve quality, comprehensive compliance at affordable rates. Our team of accountants, bookkeepers, and compliance professionals files campaign finance reports, keep your financial operations in order, and make sure you know about every penny entering or leaving your campaign’s bank account.

Our Promise:

Transparent prices.
Clear contracts.
Services designed for local candidates.

And if we don't raise $2,000 in our first month, you owe nothing.

Our Services

Email and text fundraising scaled for local races.

Local candidates are often priced out of high quality email and text programs. We help change that with digital content that consistently raises money week-over-week over the top two mediums for grassroots supporters. Keep supporters engaged with surveys and polls, bring new small dollar donors into your campaign, and show campaign watchers that your campaign has the infrastructure for a top-tier digital program.

Field

Data and training packages for volunteer-powered local campaigns.

We offer custom data and training packages built for local campaigns. We can help manage your data, train your field team on VAN, and turn volunteer energy into a repeatable program.
