Donation Disclaimer Policy

Know Voters engages in voter education, civic engagement, grassroots organizing, political outreach, public policy education, advocacy communications, independent expenditures, community awareness campaigns, digital outreach, canvassing activities, volunteer engagement, and election-related communications involving federal, state, county, municipal, school board, and local races.

Contributions made to Know Voters are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes unless specifically stated otherwise under applicable law. Political contributions, advocacy donations, PAC donations, and election-related financial support generally do not qualify as charitable deductions.

By making a donation or contribution, you certify that you are contributing your own personal funds, are at least eighteen years old, are a United States citizen or lawfully admitted permanent resident where required by law, and that your contribution complies with applicable campaign finance laws.

Certain activities conducted by Know Voters may involve federal election activity governed by the Federal Election Commission, the Federal Election Campaign Act, and applicable IRS Section 527 political organization regulations.

Contributions aggregating more than $200 from an individual contributor during a calendar year generally require public itemized disclosure in FEC filings. Contributions totaling $200 or less during a calendar year are generally reported as unitemized contributions under federal reporting guidelines.

A federally registered PAC or federal political organization may, where legally permitted, support state, county, municipal, school board, judicial, or local races. When participating in state or local election activity, organizations must comply with applicable state campaign finance laws, reporting rules, disclaimer requirements, and disclosure obligations.

State reporting requirements vary widely by jurisdiction. For Florida election activity, political committees, PACs, electioneering communications organizations, and related political entities may be required to publicly report contributor information pursuant to Florida campaign finance laws.

Know Voters may engage in independent expenditures, issue advocacy, election communications, voter education campaigns, and political messaging not coordinated with candidates or candidate committees unless otherwise expressly disclosed.

Know Voters reserves the right to verify contributor eligibility, request identifying documentation, refuse prohibited donations, refund impermissible contributions, maintain compliance records, cooperate with lawful governmental requests, and file required federal or state campaign finance reports.

Contributions may be processed through third-party payment providers, merchant processors, banks, credit card companies, ACH systems, digital wallet providers, or online fundraising platforms. Processing fees may reduce the net contribution amount received.

Contributions do not guarantee election victories, political endorsements, candidate appointments, legislative outcomes, political influence, government contracts, access to elected officials, or campaign success.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Know Voters, its affiliates, officers, directors, volunteers, agents, contractors, representatives, sponsors, and partners shall not be liable for damages arising from contributions, campaign activities, political advocacy, website use, processing delays, reporting obligations, third-party services, election outcomes, or regulatory actions.

This Donation Disclaimer Policy shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida and applicable federal election laws. Any disputes arising from contributions, political activity, website use, or campaign-related matters shall be handled through mediation, arbitration, or courts located within the State of Florida unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Know Voters reserves the right to update, revise, or modify this Donation Disclaimer Policy at any time without prior notice. Updated versions shall become effective immediately upon posting to the website.
