We make it easy for you

We make it easy for you to build your online fundraising program in no time, whether you’re running a national operation or launching your own campaign for city council. We charge a flat rate of 3.95% on each donation you receive to cover the processing cost.

Other than that, everything’s on us. You’ll have access to all the ActBlue tools as well as customer service to help your team and your donors at no extra cost.

No contracts, no surprises, no hidden fees. You can do the math.

14,770,000 ActBlue Express users
and counting…

We’re the go-to place for progressive fundraising, and donors love to store their information with us because they can give to all their favorite candidates and organizations with just a single click. We call these donors ActBlue Express users, and they’re exclusive to ActBlue.

Because the ActBlue Express donor universe is so large, your supporters are already a part of it. On average, 40% of your existing donors will already be ActBlue Express users, and they’ll donate 72.9% more often.

Who can use ActBlue?

We work with eligible federal candidates, political organizations, 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations, and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.

We are also able to work with eligible candidates in all states (except CT) and some local candidates. Billing for some local and state candidates works a little differently. Check out the list below to see if you’ll need a merchant account.

ActBlue does not endorse or support any candidates or organizations. Rather, we aim to provide a platform for Democratic candidates, progressive organizations, and nonprofits to build small-dollar fundraising programs.

If you are unsure if you qualify to use ActBlue, feel free to contact us at support@actblue.com to inquire.

Merchant Accounts

For some local and state races, the laws require you to have your own merchant account. No problem! We have an easy system for getting you set up with an account, you can still use all of our tools seamlessly, and the fee is about the same.

Check the lists here to see if you’ll need a merchant account.

This process takes about a week to complete, so make sure you contact us before you’re ready to start fundraising.
