Our Advice: Donate at Your “No-Regrets” Number

1. Ask yourself: “How much can I give, so that I’ll know I’ve done all I could this election?”
2. Now ask: “If we lose the House or Senate by a few votes, would I regret not giving more?”
3. If yes, raise the amount.
4. Give now or as soon as you can: Earlier money = more votes.
