Who this is for
Built for political campaigns
Candidate campaigns, local parties, PACs and advocacy organisations that run fundraising and volunteer programmes, often for a single cycle, and need a political CRM they control rather than renting a platform per seat or per contact.
Political fundraising CRM with limits enforced
Every contribution adds to the supporter's total for the cycle. Gifts that would breach a limit are flagged before they are accepted, and employer and occupation are required where the law requires them.
Volunteers matched to shifts
Volunteers sign up from a form, choose shifts for canvassing, phone banks or events and get reminders by text. Hours and turf completed are logged against the volunteer.
Canvass and phone bank results that come back
Lists are cut by district and support level, results are recorded on a phone and flow back to the supporter record the same evening.
Compliance reports without a weekend of spreadsheets
Contributions are exported in the format your filing requires, with itemised donors over the threshold and totals by period.

Questions we get asked
What does a political campaign CRM cost?
A political campaign CRM with supporters, contributions and limits, volunteers and shifts, canvassing results, events and compliance exports usually costs 7,900 to 14,900 US dollars as a fixed price, delivered in five to eight weeks. A donor and volunteer tracker for a local race starts at 4,900, and there are no per contact fees.
What is the best political campaign CRM?
The best political campaign CRM keeps one record per supporter across giving, volunteering and canvassing, enforces contribution limits, captures what the filing requires and exports the compliance report. Popular platforms do much of this on a subscription; a custom build fits your campaign exactly and the data stays yours after election day.
Can it integrate with digital advocacy and donation platforms?
Yes. Donations from online platforms are imported automatically or by export, matched to supporters and added to their cycle totals. Digital advocacy platforms that collect petition signatures or letters connect by API or CSV, so new supporters arrive in the CRM with the action they took and their consent.
Is our supporter data kept secure?
The system runs on hosting you own, with role based permissions so volunteers see only their turf, and exports are logged and limited to staff you choose. Consent is recorded per supporter, and records can be anonymised or deleted on request under the data protection rules that apply to you.
Can government affairs and public sector teams use it?
Yes. Government affairs teams track legislators, officials, committees, bills and every meeting held, with the disclosure records lobbying rules require. Public sector bodies use the same structure for stakeholders and casework. It is vertical CRM software for government affairs and the public sector without enterprise licensing, priced once and hosted where your security policy says.
