the potluck
Bring a dish, or become a regular.
A potluck works because nobody brings everything. Give once and it goes on the table today, or give monthly and be one of the regulars — the people a table plans around. Fund the state you live in, the one you’re from, or the one that needs it most.
Tennessee is already built and live — dishes here pay its real bills.
TheDems.org is built and run by one person, Tim. A tip goes to him, not to Tennessee’s bills — it’s itemized on your receipt and never counted in any state’s total. On a monthly gift, the tip repeats monthly too.
Read this before you give
- Who runs this. TheDems.org is built and run by one named person, Tim Gaull. There is no company behind it yet — the first $500 raised files one, and that milestone is published like every other.
- Not tax-deductible. Your contribution is not a charitable donation and is not tax-deductible.
- Not political money. Nothing you give here goes to any candidate, campaign, or party. It pays for the infrastructure line items published on the costs page.
- Counted in public. Every payment is added to its state’s public running total the moment it clears — itemized on the public ledger — and a receipt goes to your email.
- If this ever ends. If the project winds down, remaining funds after obligations go to Global GAIN, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building the democracy workforce.
TheDems.org is independent infrastructure and is not a candidate, party committee, or PAC. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your card number. Monthly gifts can be changed or stopped any time from your giving page. Questions: billing@thedems.org.
