Good, better, best

By knowing the amount of consistent support the DNC can count on, we can plan ahead and allocate resources in the most efficient way possible.

As a self-professed data enthusiast, I love charts, graphs, and models. So, after a couple of election cycles at the DNC watching the same pattern play out, I came up with a "good, better, best" scenario. Here's what I mean: When you donate right before Election Day, that is good. Those contributions support last-minute investments in key states so we can reach as many Democrats as possible to get out the vote. But I'll be honest: Every time I see these donations come in, it always leaves me wondering, "How much more could we have done with that donation if we got it a year ago?" See, one-time contributions made more than a year out from the midterms are better. They help fund the early organizing, voter protection, and state party programs -- laying a really important foundation for our candidates to ultimately win. Here's the problem though: We can't always predict when these donations will come in or how big they will be -- and that makes it harder to proactively plan where to invest, to what extent, and for how long. That's why the best donations made to the DNC are made on a monthly basis. By knowing the amount of consistent support the DNC can count on, we can plan ahead and allocate resources most efficiently long before Election Day. So, will you start a monthly donation to the DNC today? A gift of any size will help determine the scope and scale of our programs in 2021, 2022, and beyond. DONATE MONTHLY I know that donating monthly to the DNC isn't a small commitment -- but it's an incredibly meaningful one. When you join the ranks of our party's top supporters by becoming a monthly donor, you'll be supporting innovative programs including: Strengthening our state parties. We know that with enough time, talent, and energy, we can flip any state from red to blue. That's why we're spending a historic $23 million to empower state parties to develop state-tailored strategies, train the next generation of diverse party leaders, and provide the best data and technology available. Organizing early and building power in every ZIP code. In order to win, the DNC needs to work year round to address the needs of Americans all over the country. That's why we're making our largest and earliest investment yet in the states to modernize our organizing process and empower local talent who know their communities and what they need. Protecting the right to vote nationwide. In the wake of relentless Republican attacks on the right to vote, we're investing $25 million into voter education, voter protection, targeted voter registration, and technology to make voting more accessible. So what do you say? Start a monthly investment in Democrats' success today so we can come out on top in 2021, 2022, and beyond. Your support means so much. Thank you.
