A different kind of donor platform

Find candidates through people you trust. Give once. Walk away.

Curators publish ordered slates of Democratic House and Senate candidates with their own commentary. Donors browse, click through to candidate profiles, and donate via ActBlue. The platform takes nothing from donations. Candidates pay nothing. No spam, no list rental, no editorial picks — just curators you trust pointing at candidates worth backing.

How it works
Step 01
A curator publishes a slate.
Anyone can. They pick candidates, order them, write per-candidate context, and publish. No follower minimum. No application.
Step 02
Donors arrive via the slate's share link.
They read the curator's commentary, click into individual candidate profiles to see the substance, and decide what to give.
Step 03
Donations route via ActBlue.
The platform takes nothing. Candidates pay nothing. ActBlue's privacy policy applies at checkout — you can opt out of contact-sharing at the moment of donation.
