Force Multiplier is an all volunteer political fundraising group founded in 2017.

We began as a group of a dozen people in the Boston area who were alarmed by the national backlash that led to the election of Donald Trump. We wanted to find a way for Blue states voters like ourselves to have an impact on the national balance of power. We chose the path of raising funds for Democratic candidates who were in frontline races challenging vulnerable Republican incumbents for the House. 

 

We're committed to supporting Democrats because the Republican party has been captured by the extreme MAGA faction that embraces authoritarianism + represents a threat to our democracy.

 

Force Multiplier believes that only a Democratic President + Democratic majorities in the House + Senate will protect our rights, freedoms + democracy. 

Our approach is to empower donors by providing them with research based recommendations on which races are most likely to affect the balance of power in the House + Senate. Our group is one of several independent groups that provide candidates + groups with a stream of revenue independent of PACS, wealthy donors + the party. 

 

Our recommendations are driven by research not ideology.

We support Democratic candidates in critical races regardless of their positions on individual issues. We look for candidates who are in competitive races that are strategically important to achieving Democratic majorities + who need further financial support to win. We measure our success by the amount of money we’re able to direct into races that are truly competitive.  

​

Force Multiplier is committed to fundraising practices that respect our donors + that will sustain the work of our candidates + groups over the long haul.

Force Multiplier supports Democratic candidates but isn't part of the party.

 

Force Multiplier focuses entirely on fundraising. We do, however, connect members of our community with volunteer opportunities for the candidates groups we support.

 

Force Multiplier never touches the money. 
All funds go directly to the candidates through Act Blue, a user-friendly donation processing platform. (Act Blue has a 3.95% credit card processing fee.) When payment is made by check, the contribution goes directly to the candidate or group being supported.

Force Multiplier has no staff + no office + has minimal self-funded expenses.
