$3.38M raised online in February; average online gift $18
3.5M gifts under $200
Over $50M raised online this cycle
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee today announced record-breaking February fundraising. In February, the DCCC raised nearly $10.6M compared to $7.1M in February of 2016. Reflecting the grassroots energy behind House Democrats, the committee raised $3.38M online in February with an average gift of $18. Nearly 55% of the total raised in February came from grassroots donations online, on the phones, and in the mail.
Overall, the DCCC has raised over $125M total with over $50M coming from online donations. Over 300k first-time online donors contributed to this total. The DCCC has received nearly 3.5M individual gifts under $200 both online and through direct marketing this cycle.
Despite full Republican control of Washington, the DCCC has out-raised the NRCC cycle-to-date.
“It’s been clear all cycle long that the grassroots are energized and unified around the goal of taking back the House,” said DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján. “The DCCC’s historic fundraising combined with incredible candidate fundraising will ensure that Democratic candidates have the resources to tell their powerful stories and connect with voters.”
