Will my donor information stay private?
Gifts to Movement Voter Project and Movement Voter Fund are never publicly disclosed, and MVP will never sell, rent, or lease your information. Movement Voter PAC donors who give more than $200 are listed on the FEC website, just as they would be for a gift to a federal candidate.
Movement Voter Project (501(c)4) and Movement Voter Fund at Tides Foundation (501(c)3) donors are not publicly viewable anywhere.
Movement Voter PAC donors are disclosed on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) website by name, state, employer, donation amount, and receipt date. Note: Donors face this same requirement when giving to House, Senate, or Presidential candidates. It is illegal for campaigns and organizations to scrape FEC data for solicitations.

MVP will never sell, rent, or lease your information.
The use of donor information is limited to the internal purposes of Movement Voter Project and only to further the activities and purposes of MVP.

“But if I donate to MVP online, won’t I get on spam lists?”
No. MVP doesn’t sell your data, and neither does ActBlue, MVP’s online payment processor — here’s their privacy policy.
Many political candidates, on the other hand, sadly do buy and sell donor lists. If you’ve ever given to a candidate and now get random political spam, this is likely why.
MVP believes these practices violate basic ethics, erode donor trust, and weaken the progressive movement. For these reasons, we abide by the simple principles of Ethical Email. (Take action here to protect your inbox and end unethical email practices.
