Join Us for Two Crimson Training Sessions on March 25
Join the Crimson Support Team next week on March 25 for two Crimson training sessions designed to help your team get more out of the platform. Whether you want a full tour of the latest features or a focused look at compliance tools for overlimit donors, there is a session built for you.
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.
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.
Crimson Feature of the Month: Fundraising Dashboard
The Crimson Fundraising Dashboard gives you a complete overview of your contribution data in one place. From total gift amounts and fund code breakdowns to your top-performing source codes, fundraisers, and locations, this dashboard makes it easy to see exactly where your money is coming from and how your fundraising efforts are performing. Whether you need a quick status check or want to dig into the details behind a specific number, the Fundraising Dashboard puts that information at your fingertips.
