What is the Matching Funds Program?
It takes your small donations and multiplies it.
- For every donation up to $250, the program matches it at an $8 to $1 rate. So, if you donate $10 to a candidate, the campaign gets $90, which helps pay for costs including staff or campaign materials.

The CFB works to create accountability to the public. We protect the public interest and ensure taxpayer dollars are being used responsibly by candidates.
Toda campaña que reciba fondos públicos debe proporcionar detalles sobre cómo se gastó el dinero, lo que permite hacer un seguimiento de cada dólar gastado en la campaña.
But don’t just take it from us! You can track donations and more with our Follow the Money tool.
