How do “Democratic Nominee Funds” work?

Democratic Nominee Funds make it possible for you to contribute to and fundraise for the Democratic nominee of a U.S. House or Senate seat (and every four years the Presidency) — even before the nominee has been selected: contributions to these Funds are simply held in escrow and transferred to the Democratic nominee upon his/her formal selection. (In the unusual event that no nominee is selected, Senate general funds go to the DSCC and House general funds go to the DCCC. In the extremely unlikely event there is no Democratic Nominee for President or the more likely prospect that the Nominee accepts public financing, the funds will be forwarded to the DNC.) For the purposes of contribution limits, a contribution to one of these funds counts just like any other individual contribution to the candidate. We operate our DNFs in accordance with FEC Advisory Opinions 1977-16 and 1982-23.
