Want to Raise Extra Money Down the Stretch? Get Specific
Campaigns would be wise to pick specific goals for the coming weeks – and then pitch their supporters to help fund them.
The help-me-defeat-my-opponent pitches aren’t as effective down the stretch, fundraisers say. Rather, it’s time to get targeted – super targeted.
The fall is when donors are looking for ROI, according to Republican fundraiser Mike Hahn of Frontline Strategies.
“Donors that have likely given many times throughout the cycle want to now see a return on investment,” he told C&E. “They want to know their contributions are making a tangible impact: like helping to knock on doors or even to provide pizza to the campaign staff who will be working long hours.”
The article highlights the importance of specificity in campaign fundraising, which is a crucial lesson for conservative campaigns. Conservatives understand that donors are more willing to give when they know their contributions are driving concrete outcomes. By linking donations to grassroots efforts—like door-knocking or phone banking—Republican campaigns can engage the base effectively and generate enthusiasm in the final stretch. In a world where every dollar counts, clear communication and actionable goals resonate with conservative values of accountability and results-driven strategies.
