PAC Contact Management

Manage your relationships with other organizations as well as with individuals

Complete contact management to include giving limits, eligibility class and historical contribution details

• TRACK INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION LIMITS
  Make sure your PAC is compliant with FEC regulations. Vocus' software keeps a running year-to-date receipt total for each contributor, and does not allow total contributions to exceed their individual FEC limit. This automatic feature saves you time, keeps your PAC in good standing with the FEC, and keeps you from incurring fines for noncompliance.

• TRACK FEC-MANDATED EMPLOYER AND OCCUPATION FIELD
  Save time by using Vocus' automated FEC reports. For those individuals who need to be itemized, Vocus' software automatically records name, address, employer and occupation information, as well as a year-to-date contribution total and amount of last receipt-benefit -- so you don't have to.

• FULL CONTACT INFORMATION INCLUDING DIVISION AND JOB CODE
  Categorize your potential contributors and invest your time wisely by identifying the most likely donors. With Vocus' software, you can analyze past contributors by various criteria to learn who has contributed the most in the past, who is most likely to contribute in the future, and which solicitation campaigns have been most effective. Spot trends in contributions and tailor your solicitation efforts accordingly.

• SOLICITATION-ELIGIBLE CLASS IDENTIFICATION FOR OUTBOUND COMMUNICATION
  Increase your efficiency by targeting your fund-raising campaigns exclusively to those employees or members deemed eligible for solicitation by FEC guidelines. Don't waste time or postage by sending a solicitation to anyone who falls within a restricted class.

• HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTION INFORMATION
  Analyze the contribution histories of your employees or organization members. Generate reports and analysis to see what class of individual contributed in the past, so you can concentrate your fundraising activities where they will be most fruitful in the future. Easily identify "lost" individuals and target them for future solicitations. Increase PAC receipts to fund more grassroots activity.

  Set pre-determined spending limits on a per-seat basis. Vocus' software for political action committee will warn you when a contribution exceeds your budgeted amount.

• BANK RECONCILIATION
  Make sure your PAC bank account balance corresponds exactly to the balance you have reported to the FEC.

• CONTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT REPORTS
  Use Vocus' built-in reports to audit, analyze and account for disbursement quickly and accurately.

• AUTO PRINT CHECKS
  Write checks using Vocus' check writer - integrated with the FEC reporting tool - to ensure that you report everything you spend.
