Crimson Feature of the Month: How to Find and Flag Over Limit Donors
Following up with donors who have contributed too much to a campaign is increasingly important. With the growth of multi-channel fundraising, it’s now possible for undisclosed donors to make enough repeated gifts and go over FEC limits. With Crimson, it’s possible to find these donations and either reattribute or redesignate them rather than issue refunds.
2026 Primary Season Starts Now. Is Your Reporting Ready?
With the 2026 primary season underway, now is the time to get your reporting calendar in order. If you are working on a federal race, you need to follow regular FEC filing deadlines and stay on top of the periods requiring 48-Hour Notices for donations of $1,000 and over.
Crimson Spotlight: Using Email Scheduler to Track 48-Hour Contributions
The 2026 primary season starts on March 3 with Arkansas, North Carolina, and Texas, so the time frame for filing 48-Hour Notices will be starting for many campaigns. These must be filed for donations over $1,000 between 20 days and 48 hours before a primary or general election. Crimson's Email Scheduler can alert you via a daily email when new reportable donations are entered into Crimson.
