Database Set-Up or Restructuring

Whether this is your first time running or your twentieth, your database needs to reflect who you know, what you know about them, and how they’ve interacted with your campaign. Bad data leads to bad asks which leads to low funds in the door. Let BlueFox help get your data set.

Database Management

As your campaign ramps up, your team will be focusing on prospecting potential donors, making the ask, and getting the money in. Every minute matters, and time spent logging funds and prepping filings is time away from fundraising. Clean data also allows your data to tell the story of your campaign so you can both increase the effectiveness of your fundraising strategy and publicize your successes! BlueFox can help ensure your data stays clean and that your database is an asset to your fundraising team - not a burden.

Contribution Processing & Compliance Reporting and Filing

When a donor fulfills their pledge, it can feel as though the fundraising process is complete. It should be time to celebrate! Behind the scenes, however, that is when the compliance work begins. Contributions and disbursements need to be logged, verified, and filed according to your election’s governing body. BlueFox will process incoming contributions and outgoing disbursements in your database, research the legality of the contribution and necessary reporting fields, as well as prepare and file your reports. By executing weekly and monthly reconciliations, your bank account and database will be synonymous and you will be able to easily answer questions from your team about your cash on hand, outstanding pledges, and funds raised.

Education of Staff on Compliance Regulations

Odd situations arise sporadically in campaigns, and you need answers and guidance as to the legal implications as quickly as possible. You don’t have time to dig through hundreds of pages of regulations. BlueFox is your first resources for all compliance questions. When we enter into our partnership, we will train your staff on basic compliance regulations. Going forward, we will handle all escalated compliance issues.
