What does my donation support?

For one - this website. Donations go to support the costs associated with running the 43rd District Democrats. Renting meeting space, renting spaces for events, providing snacks and beverages. Every two years, we have to fund our caucuses, as well - whether they are off-year LD Caucuses, or the entire Precinct Caucus to LD Caucus cycle. The 43rd is in one of the most expensive parts of Washington, and your financial support is vital to our ability to connect community with policy makers, and provide education opportunities about topics that impact our region. 

How about campaigns?

The 43rd District Democrats do not give any direct contributions to political campaigns. Our focus is on organizing and education for our members - which historically has been our model. 

Is my contribution tax deductible?

It is not. We are a non-profit organization under federal tax code, but our classification does not allow for tax deductible contributions. 

I'm a PCO - do I still have to contribute?

The costs associated with our training events for PCOs, and more generally for the organization, are continuous. While PCOs enjoy voting rights by virtue of being PCOs, we always encourage PCOs to donate if they are able.
