Give Smart to Win Elections and Drive Change.
Blue Tent helps donors at all levels give effectively to influence elections and enact policies for a fairer America. We provide timely recommendations grounded in research and due diligence.
FOUR RULES FOR EFFECTIVE GIVING
1. Do Your Homework
Treat your political giving like other important spending decisions, putting in the time to identify the best options.
2. Give to Engage Voters
Support groups that persuade and turn out voters, with a record of impact — not campaigns that mostly spend on ads.
3. Listen to experts
Get to know the organizations that research donor options and make timely recommendations based on data and field reports.
4. Start Early
Early money is crucial for helping voter groups plan their work. The sooner you give for elections, the more effective your money will be.
Control of the U.S. House could be decided in 2026 by a handful of very close races. To have an impact, Blue Tent recommends that donors support three organizing coalitions working to engage and turn out voters across more than 40 congressional districts.
