Organizational Contributions

Vote Amáda welcomes contributions from working people, community organizations, and progressive causes. The following organizational contributions are permitted:

Qualifying Nonprofit Organizations

Contributions from a nonprofit organization’s political action committee (PAC) or political fund are permitted, provided the nonprofit:

  1. Is not organized or operating for the principal purpose of conducting a business;
  2. Has no shareholders or other persons with a claim on its assets or earnings; and
  3. Was not established by a for-profit business corporation and maintains a policy not to accept significant contributions from business corporations.

This reflects the nonprofit exemption under Minn. Stat. § 211B.15, subd. 15.

Labor Organizations

Vote Amáda is proud to stand with Minnesota’s working families and labor movement. Contributions from the political fund or PAC of a labor organization (such as AFL-CIO COPE, SEIU, AFSCME, or similar labor-affiliated political funds) that is registered with the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board are permitted and welcome, subject to applicable contribution limits. Direct contributions from a labor organization’s general treasury remain prohibited under Minnesota law.

Political Committees and Funds

Contributions from general purpose political committees and funds registered with the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board are permitted, subject to applicable contribution limits.

Additional Terms and Conditions

Contributions made to this campaign are not tax deductible.

Vote Amáda will refrain from providing advice about the tax or other legal treatment of gifts and encourages donors to seek guidance from their own professional advisers.

Vote Amáda will not compensate, whether through commissions, finders’ fees, or other means, any third party for directing a gift or a donor to this campaign.

Certain contributions — including real property, personal property, non-liquid securities, in-kind services, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner — must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations or liabilities they may present. Please contact the campaign before making such a contribution.

Vote Amáda will accept donations of cash and publicly traded securities. In-kind contributions of goods or services will be accepted at the campaign’s discretion and must be reported at fair market value as required by Minnesota campaign finance law.

No irrevocable gift will be accepted if, under any reasonable set of circumstances, it would jeopardize the donor’s financial security.

The information on this page is provided for general guidance and does not constitute legal advice. Campaign finance law is complex and subject to change. For authoritative guidance, consult the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board or a qualified campaign finance attorney.
