A state legislative campaign usually costs less than 10% of a competitive US House or 3% of a competitive US Senate race, which means your donations go furthest when they go to state legislative races. That’s why The States Project and Data For Progress created the Give Smart program. We use a combination of district-level modeling, electoral and demographic information, and the latest on the ground intelligence about campaigns, to find the races where your donations go furthest. And 100% of your donations go to the candidates.
YOUR MONEY GOES FURTHEST HERE

CURIOUS WHY WE USE OATH FOR GIVE SMART?
Oath is a donation platform that puts donors first. Like us, they’re focused on sending money where it’s needed the most.

And no matter where you donate, 100 percent of your donations go directly to the candidates — we don’t take a dime. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to Give Smart!
