What is the difference between the General Fund and Elections Fund?
Our organizing fund helps us to run issue campaigns, print literature, pay for mailings, office space, and one half-time staff. None of this money goes towards election activities.
Our elections fund pays for election specific activities such as our literature that states election endorsements, and any donations we may give to an endorsed candidates election fund. None of this money goes toward general organizing.
