One contribution page, every committee your cause supports.
Watershed Giving is a federal political committee that acts as a conduit. Organizations host contribution pages with us; contributions made on them are earmarked for the candidates and committees each contributor chooses, and we forward them.
When an organization puts you on its slate, every contribution earmarked for you reaches you through Watershed Giving, and your committee console shows it as it happens.
Simple payouts
Add your payout details once, in your committee console. Every contribution earmarked for you is forwarded in a disbursement you can follow from in progress to sent, with the contributions it carries.
We never store your bank account numbers.
Real-time stats
See what you have raised the moment it is contributed: totals over time, by organization and by page, and for each of your elections or calendar years.
Joint fundraising, handled
A joint fundraising committee enters its allocation formula in the console, and each contribution counts against the right participant's limit.
Your whole team
Invite your treasurer and staff to the console, each with the access their role needs.
To get started, write to the mailing address on Watershed Giving's Statement of Organization at the FEC.
How it works
- 1
An organization builds a page
Advocacy organizations and PACs list the candidates and committees they support on a contribution page hosted here.
- 2
Contributors choose and pay once
They pick an amount for each committee and pay with one card charge: a contribution to Watershed Giving, earmarked for each committee they chose.
- 3
We forward and report it
Watershed Giving forwards each earmarked contribution to its committee and reports it to the Federal Election Commission with the contributor named, as federal law requires.
