Fundraising Following Elections


As the campaigns of the presidential election raps up for 2012 it is important to note that more than two billion dollars have been raised from corporations and individuals.  How does that affect non-profits, schools and other groups that need to raise money for their different causes?

Control of how money is raised was addressed in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, also known as "McCain-Feingold", after its sponsors, is the most recent major federal law on campaign finance, which revised some of the legal limits on expenditures set in 1974, and prohibited unregulated contributions to national political parties. ‘Soft money’ also refers to funds spent by independent organizations that do not specifically advocate the election or defeat of candidates, and funds which are not contributed directly to candidate campaigns.

Much of that money has gone in to media buys to get their respective messages across.  Smaller amounts have gone into the purchase of printed materials and the rent of offices and to pay for travel expenses.

While it is much harder to find out what economic effect all of the congressional races and on down through all of the state and local offices that were campaigned for.  Countless millions were spent to fund these elections.

The money has gone back into the national and local economies.  So it is not as though the money has just vanished.  It should for some individuals and business been a boon to their income levels.

So you may want to consider certain targets for your fundraising efforts.  It might be that local news media and printers be considered as they may have been on the receiving end of these millions of dollars.
