FEC Compliance

Campaign Finance Hub

FEC deadlines don't move. Your report builds itself as every gift comes in — itemized, aggregated, and ready to file before the quarter closes.

Why Built-In Compliance Matters

FEC Reporting

Generate FEC reports from contribution records that stay pre-formatted for electronic filing. Quarterly and monthly deadlines come with reminders, so the report is built before the calendar forces it.

Compliance Monitoring

Every gift is checked at entry against cumulative giving and federal limits. Records missing employer or occupation get flagged before they reach a report, not after it's filed.

Goal Tracking

Set daily, weekly, and monthly targets and watch the dashboard move as gifts are recorded. Progress numbers come from the same contribution records your reports use — no separate tracker to reconcile.

From Data Entry to Filed Report

Fundraising Analytics

Track fundraising performance with detailed analytics. Monitor average donation size, donor retention rates, and campaign velocity. Identify trends and adjust your fundraising strategy from the numbers, not guesswork.

Budget Management

Track campaign spending alongside fundraising. Monitor burn rate, forecast cash flow, and keep your campaign within budget. Allocate funds across programs and track ROI on fundraising activities.

Audit Trail

Maintain complete records of all financial transactions. Track who entered data, when changes were made, and maintain documentation for compliance audits. Export detailed reports for treasurers and accountants.

Contribution Limit Enforcement

FEC compliance starts at data entry. FundraiserMax tracks cumulative giving per donor, flags contributions that would exceed federal limits, and checks that employer and occupation details are captured before a gift is recorded. Your treasurer catches problems the day they happen — not weeks later while preparing a filing.

Deadline-Ready Campaign Finance Reporting

Quarterly and monthly reporting deadlines arrive with automated reminders, and the data behind each report stays filing-ready year-round. Generate FEC reports with pre-formatted contribution data, export files for electronic filing, and pull CSV exports so treasurers and accountants can reconcile every period without re-keying records.

Who Runs on This

Campaign treasurers

Reconcile a batch of event checks the week before a quarterly deadline, with cumulative totals, limit flags, and employer details already on each contribution record.

Compliance consultants

File for several committees each period by pulling each client's pre-formatted FEC export instead of rebuilding a spreadsheet from bank statements.

Finance directors

Check the goal dashboard each morning and see flagged contributions the day they're entered, while there's still time to cure them before the filing.

PAC administrators

Track per-donor limits and itemization thresholds across the whole donor file, with an audit trail recording who entered every transaction and when.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FEC compliance software?

FEC compliance software tracks contributions against federal limits, collects the donor information required for itemized reporting, and prepares filing-ready data for campaign finance reports. FundraiserMax builds these compliance tools into its fundraising CRM, so contribution records and compliance checks live alongside your donor data.

Does FundraiserMax track FEC contribution limits automatically?

Yes. FundraiserMax tracks cumulative giving per donor, flags excessive contributions, and checks that required donor information is collected before a contribution is processed, so potential violations surface while they can still be corrected rather than after a report is filed.

Are compliance features included on every plan?

Yes. Every FundraiserMax plan includes all features — FEC compliance tools, campaign finance reporting, contact management, and analytics. Pricing is $40 per user per month or $425 per user per year, with unlimited contacts and no compliance add-on tier.

Can I export campaign finance data for filing?

Yes. FundraiserMax generates FEC reports with pre-formatted data and exports files ready for electronic filing. You can also export contribution records via CSV for treasurers and accountants, or pull data programmatically through the REST API.
