Best for: First-time candidates and new committees getting off the ground

This package is designed to take a campaign from an idea to compliant and operational. We handle the administrative and compliance setup so your campaign can begin fundraising and reporting correctly from day one.

The Services

I assist with the foundational compliance and administrative steps required to legally operate a federal campaign committee, including:

• Filing for the committee’s Employer Identification Number (EIN)

• Assisting with campaign bank account setup (including required documentation and coordination with the bank)

• Setting up and configuring a donation platform, including ActBlue or Numero (client choice)

• Assisting with committee registration and initial FEC filings

  • Federal filing deadlines start fast. Once a candidate crosses the $5,000 threshold, FEC Form 2 (Statement of Candidacy) is due within 15 days, and the authorized campaign committee must file FEC Form 1 (Statement of Organization) within 10 days of designation. PACs are required to register by filing Form 1 within 10 days of formation.

  • We assist with preparing and submitting required initial filings and electronic filing credentials. Because these deadlines are triggered by campaign activity, the ability to meet them depends on when a campaign or PAC engages services and provides required information. Early engagement allows us to reduce risk, avoid missed filings, and ensure reporting begins correctly.

• Establishing basic compliance workflows to prepare for ongoing reporting

All services are provided as administrative and compliance support. Final authorization and legal responsibility remain with the committee and treasurer.

Typical Deliverables(may vary, based on the campaigns discussed needs)

• EIN confirmation

• Bank account opened and linked to donation platform

• Donation platform live and tested

• Initial FEC paperwork prepared and filed

• Campaign ready to receive and report contributions in coordination with our compliance services, should the relationship continue beyond the completion of this initial service

Pricing

Final pricing can be disclosed as a flat onboarding fee or as an hourly package with a defined cap.
