A campaign rolodex is a repository of your personal and political network. To start building your rolodex, you’re going to Rolodex yourself: put all of your information about your personal contacts into this template. Then, you’ll start to expand your rolodex starting from the personal relationships you already have.
This spreadsheet can be used by campaigns or political organizations to track incoming pledges and contributions. It also includes useful tabs for tracking donor information as well as thank-yous and other follow-up activities. Campaigns and political organizations should track every single pledge and contribution they receive, starting on day one.
Campaigns cost money, and raising money requires time and planning. This template will help you examine the revenue streams your campaign can focus on, complete some research to help you set goals, and draft of your fundraising plan.
This is a sample budget, with numbers for both realistic, ideal, and uh-oh budgets. Each budget is broken down by month and category. Use this as a reference example when budgeting a campaign. To learn more about budgeting, check out our course on Budgeting & Financial Compliance.
