# I want to donate directly to a candidate/organization. Can I use ActBlue to do that?
When you donate to a group through ActBlue, the money goes directly to that group.
ActBlue is the platform campaigns and organizations use to create contribution forms and fundraise online. Usually, these groups have their ActBlue contribution form on their website.
As a nonprofit organization, ActBlue aims to build tech and infrastructure for Democratic campaigns and progressive-aligned causes to fuel long-term, people-powered change. We build digital fundraising tools and process contributions for the groups that use our platform.
Your donation goes straight to your chosen candidate or organization, so they can spend less time depositing checks.
We pass along a processing fee on contributions to the groups using our platform.
Completing a contribution involves expenses to process your credit card. We’re legally required to pass along processing costs to the campaign so that we do not make in-kind contributions to them.
