Campaigns run on money.Raising it is serious work.

The mail, the staff, the ads, the field program. Every piece of it is a plan with a number attached, and the number has to come in first.

Done well, fundraising brings people together behind a common cause.

Fundraising is an art and a science. The science is consistency: the same hours every week, the list kept current, the follow up actually done. The art is the relationships, the directness it takes to ask, and the confidence to hold someone to what they committed.

“Successful fundraising is built over months, one relationship at a time.”
– Justin R. Nudo

Approach is the difference.

Donors give to people they have a relationship with, and they give at the size they are asked. Most campaigns guess at both.

We build the lists, find the people most likely to give, size every ask, and reach them where they answer, by phone, by text, by email, and with branding that makes the campaign look serious. The relationships build, and the number follows.

Questions aboutcampaign fundraising.

What does a Democratic fundraising firm do?

A Democratic fundraising firm raises the money a campaign needs to run. E3N Strategies runs the whole fundraising operation for Democratic candidates: candidate training, donor research, call time and events, email and text, websites and digital, and campaign branding. One team runs every part, so the plan, the list and the follow up stay in one place.

How do I find the right fundraiser for my Democratic campaign?

Look at what a fundraiser has raised in public filings, the races they have worked, and whether they run the whole operation or one piece of it. E3N Strategies has helped raise more than $10 million for candidates and causes. Recent races include a Broward County Commission candidate who went from $4,446 a month to $23,870 a month, and a CalPERS Board candidate who set the record for the most money ever raised in a board race.

Who does E3N Strategies work with?

Democratic candidates at every level of the ballot: city council, county commission, state house, state senate, judicial, statewide and federal races. E3N also works with political committees and PACs. First time and experienced candidates get the same standard.

Where does E3N Strategies work?

Everywhere. E3N runs Democratic campaign fundraising nationwide, with campaigns in New York, Florida, California, Illinois, Wisconsin and beyond. The same team works a city council race in one state and a congressional race in another.

When should a campaign start fundraising?

As early as possible. The money a campaign raises in its first months pays for staff, mail and ads later, and donors give more when they hear from a candidate before everyone else is asking. If you are planning to be on the ballot, now is when the fundraising operation gets built.
