Fundraising

Women candidates must place a particular emphasis on raising the funds necessary to run a successful campaign. Fundraising, an inevitable part of any political campaign, allows the candidate to pay for items such as nomination fees, candidate deposits, promotional activities, transportation and a multitude of other expenses. Successful fundraising is an intricate endeavour that includes identifying potential donors, educating them on campaign issues, creating solicitation tools and developing a plan for receiving and allocating funds.
