Why Give Through Oath?
Interviews with donors who have been scammed reveal that many believe that ActBlue has a robust vetting process for allowing PACs to operate on their platform. While ActBlue does have some rules (for example, applicants cannot be registered Republicans), the company does not take responsibility for helping donors make smart decisions in line with their goals.
Enter Oath, the giving platform that goes the extra mile in evaluating the campaigns they support. Most importantly, it helps donors maximize the effectiveness of pro-democracy donations while preventing their inboxes from being filled with more fundraising emails and texts.
Protect Your Privacy and Inbox By Giving Through Oath.
When you give through Oath, it keeps your email address and phone number private and will not give or sell it to anyone else. In addition, Oath requires campaigns using Oath to agree not to use donor names for future contacts. If you give through Oath, you will not be added to any email or text lists. (Unfortunately, Oath can’t yet take you off existing email and text lists owned by data vendors.)
Oath Helps You Evaluate the Likely Impact of Donations.
To identify truly competitive races, Oath has developed an algorithm combining human research with hi-tech data. Oath’s algorithm has three components. The first is competitiveness, does the Democrat have a realistic chance of winning the race? The second is the stakes, what are the consequences of winning or losing this particular race? The third is financial need. Do candidates need more money for their races or do they have enough?
Oath.vote now lists 1,000+ candidates and organizations. Using those three factors, Oath produces an Impact score for each of those campaigns that can help guide your donations.
