Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of Dollars & Change — a new website that allows users to find and donate directly to political candidates who share their views in districts and states across the country.

The way people contribute to candidates for political office is changing, both in terms of how they give and who they give to. In 2018 alone, small-dollar donors gave in record amounts to campaigns across the country. Donors are moving from supporting candidates who are running to represent their home district to supporting candidates who represent their ideology. This fundamental shift in how campaigns are funded has been powered by the rise of online political giving, but finding candidates you agree with can be difficult.

Dollars & Change makes it easy for potential donors to find candidates who share their views and make a donation with just a few clicks. Users are matched on 8 general policy positions with 10 candidates for federal and state office across the country. Then, after deciding how much to give, one button contributes to all the candidates at the same time. It has never been easier to find and support candidates up and down the ballot.

We are a non-partisan platform looking to introduce donors to candidates of every affiliation. Currently, we work with candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and Governor but hope to expand to state legislative offices soon.

Visit Dollars & Change at www.dollarsandchange.org to find out which candidates share your views and follow us on Twitter for the latest updates.
