We did it! You successfully got us to donate $1m to the Harris Victory Fund.
Your donations are still very welcome here
$1m is a double-digit percentage of my total net worth so this isn't a casual thing for me. But I feel like I need to do something, and I suspect you’re feeling the same way—hopefully this is the nudge that tips you!
FAQ
Who are you?
You’ve never heard of me. I’m an engineer and startup founder. I've never donated to a presidential campaign before, but it feels like so much is at stake in this election and I feel like I need to do my part—and I suspect you feel the same way.
How will this work?
Once a week, I’ll make a donation to match whatever amount you've collectively contributed via the link below (up to $1m total). This will continue until we've fully matched the $1m, or until I've updated this page to indicate that we're all done.
Even $100 goes a long way. The first $3,300 go directly to VP Harris's campaign, so please go big.
Can I share this link with other people who might be interested?
Please! Sharing this link with friends who are similarly motivated is great—I would love to fully use up the $1m match.
Are you serious/is this legit?
100%. But exactly how much I donate depends on how much you do. Here’s my corresponding post on LinkedIn. (And look, it's even in Politico and the WSJ.)
How much have you raised so far?
We did it! We raised and matched the full $1m, for a total of $2m+ raised.

How else can I help?
Sharing this page is super-helpful—the more reach we’re able to get here, the more money we’ll be able to raise, and the more matching I will be able to do.
What is the Harris Victory Fund?
The Harris Victory Fund is a partnership between Harris for President, the DNC, and 51 State Parties to support Democratic victory up and down the ballot in 2024.
The way it works is:
So in other words, if you give ≤ $3,300, it’s all directly going to the Harris campaign. And amounts beyond $3,300 will go to Democratic organizations working hard to get her elected. (You’re not allowed to give more directly.)
Can I use an ActBlue link and just forward you a receipt?
No—I can only do the match for donations that come through the link on this page. If you use this link, I can see and independently verify the amount you contributed, so I’ll know exactly how much to match without needing to do a bunch of manual work.
How can you donate $1m? Isn’t that over the limit?
The website says the limit is $929,600 per person. But I’m not going to make the contribution alone. I’m going to take the total you’ve all contributed, divide that number by two, and then my wife and I will each make a contribution to the Harris Victory Fund in that amount.
So, if the full $1,000,000 is raised this way, we’ll each donate:
For a total of ($455,400 + $41,300 + $3,300) x 2 = $1,000,000.
All of these organizations are highly motivated to get Harris elected!
Is this a PAC?
No. This is a “joint fundraising committee”—think of it as a way to basically let you contribute to multiple different causes all at once. This link came from the Harris campaign and is hosted directly on her site, and the only reason it exists is to make it easy for people who want to donate more than $3,300.
