Can I fundraise for more than one candidate or group using the same contribution form?

You can use our Tandem Fundraising feature to create a contribution form for multiple candidates. To do so, make a community form and navigate to the "Recipients" tab of the form editor. 

Use the "Add recipient" field to search for the candidate or organization you want to add and select their name.

If you’re raising for a candidate, double-check the election year and office listed, as there are sometimes multiple accounts per candidate. Use our directory and compare the name in the dropdown to the name in the search results. 

You can raise for candidates, 501(c)4s, and political groups on the same form. If you want to raise money for an organization that’s designated as a 501(c)3, you can list other 501(c)3s and 501(c)4s on the same form, but not political groups or candidates.

If you made a mistake or want to delete a candidate or group from the contribution form, remove them by clicking the subtraction sign next to their name.

You can also change your form’s settings to ask donors whether they want to share their contact information with the recipient(s). By default, recipients receive donor information for all contributions. 

To change this setting, switch the “Show email list permissions pop-up?” setting at the bottom of the “Recipients” tab to “Yes.”

Changing this setting will show donors a pop-up box asking them to share their information after donating. The pop-up looks like this:

To preview your pop-up, click the “Preview permissions pop-up” button in the form editor.

Community form creators always receive contact information for donors who give on their forms, regardless of whether they’ve chosen to share it with the recipient(s). However, form creators cannot see which donors opted in or out of sharing their contact information with the recipient(s).

Click the "Publish" button after making any changes.

When donors land on a Tandem form, they can split one contribution between the groups listed on the form.
