What is the primary objective of the DWCF Political Action Committee?

Looking at other organizations raising money for Democratic Women, we realized a genuine gap between money raised and money distributed to those running for office. We will work to close this gap and fund political campaigns with the money we raise. Our objective is to distribute 90% of the money we raise to candidates endorsed by DWCF, Inc., and approved by our political committee.

How does DWCF Political Action Committee utilize donations?
Winning takes more than great candidates and raising money to support them. Although a large portion of our funding goes directly to candidates, we also assist in turning out the Democratic vote by encouraging voter registration drives, convincing voters to vote-by-mail and canvassing door-to-door.  When Democratic registered voters turnout, Democrats win.  Turnout is a primary focus of every campaign.

How may donors ensure that their donations are being utilized effectively and with transparency?

The contributions we receive and expenditures made to operate our organization are public record. We encourage donors to review our records so they may be assured of our accountability and transparency.
