ActBlue makes it easy for new campaigns and organizations to request an account and begin fundraising in no time.
You will need some information to fill out and submit the sign-up form. We ask that you provide us with your campaign level, and we know that can be easier said than done, so please use the information below to guide you.
You'll have to answer a few questions during the application process. The first is whether your campaign is federal or non-federal (often called ‘state and local’). If you choose state or local, we’ll ask if you’re running for a judicial office. Judicial offices involve individuals who preside over legal matters, interpret laws, and make decisions in the interest of justice.
Use this guide to help you select the correct campaign level. If you're unsure, contact us and we can help.
