Donate
Donate! Local County parties do not receive funding support from the State or National Democratic Party: We raise the money we need to impact our county right here in our county. Donations enable us to conduct outreach to bring in more volunteers and voters, fund our office, support campaigns, and make a bigger difference in our county. We are a 100% volunteer organization, and we need your help to continue our work.
We know times are tough right now. Any donation you can make, in any amount, will be gratefully accepted, and will be used in our work to create a society that is just and fair for all.
Donation links on this site all send donations to our general fund, which supports all of our efforts including candidate support, voter outreach, and expenses related to our office. However, if you'd prefer, we are also fundraising specifically for earmarked categories in order to support specific efforts. If you would like to earmark a donation, these are our current fundraising drives:
-
Office Rent and Utilities - Since we opened our new office on August 24th, 2020, we have been thrilled with how much having a physical location has helped coordinate our activities and welcome in candidates, supporters, and community members. You can contribute to keeping our office open!
-
Security - We take the safety and security of our volunteers very seriously, especially in these tense times. An earmarked contribution to this category will help fund our ongoing security technology.
-
Postage - During this pandemic, we have restructured our campaign and get out the vote activities to emphasize far less person-to-person contact, and more distanced interactions. Contributions specifically to our Postage Fund would really help.
If you have any questions or input on these or other donation matters, please reach out to our Office Chair.
We're also looking for donations of items to use in our office. We prioritize our resources to support elections and pay for hard costs related to Get Out The Vote efforts and our office. If you can help by donating any of the items below, this will help preserve our funds for our priority efforts. If you'd like to donate any of these items, please email office@ycdemocrats.org or swing by any time during our open hours to drop them off.
Update: So far the community response has been phenomenal! We are so grateful for the support we are receiving from our Yamhill County community. Thank you!
Update 2: Since our last update we have been truly humbled by the support of our community. Your efforts have enabled us to stay open and keep our expenditures low.
