CrowdBlue Partner Program
Campaigns, agencies, platforms, and organizers all move money for the same side. Partner with CrowdBlue and get paid for the work you're already doing — with the tools, API, and support to do more of it.
Pick the one that sounds like you. If you're two of them, say so in the application — plenty of partners are.
Candidate committees, advocacy organizations, unions, PACs, and state parties raising money from small-dollar donors.
Ideal if: You run your own fundraising and want a platform built for the left, not a neutral checkout page.
Digital firms, fundraising consultants, and general consultants managing multiple candidate or advocacy clients.
Ideal if: You place tooling decisions for clients and want the referral economics to reflect that.
CRMs, texting and email platforms, compliance tools, and anyone who wants CrowdBlue data flowing into their product.
Ideal if: Your users keep asking you to talk to their fundraising platform.
Creators, organizers, newsletter writers, and community leaders with an audience that gives.
Ideal if: You already tell people where to donate. Get credit for it.

They're not charged until you file, so I did that while I was deciding whether to run. Over the summer we raised $27,000 in pledges from people across the district and the country who had heard about our story, so I think that helped, just in terms of that grassroots energy that then converted into contributions when we filed."

CrowdBlue partners exclusively with organizations supporting Democratic, independent, and progressive candidates and causes. Referral compensation is a commercial arrangement, not a contribution, but it can carry reporting obligations — partners are responsible for their own FEC and state-level reporting and should review any arrangement with their own counsel. We use your information only to evaluate and administer this partnership. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Whoever you are in this movement, there's a version of this partnership that pays you for the work. Start with an application.
