YourPatriot is pleased to announce the addition of our campaign finance Conduit module. This module is the first of its kind available anywhere for tracking of conduit and campaign cash distribution pools.

As a recognized leader in web based county party and campaign management software, we are allowing this module as a free upgrade to all current and existing Patriot customers. For more information and details about this new module, check out the details on our new campaign conduit feature section.

See us on your card statement?

May 13, 2008 8:51 AM

Recently a lot of people are getting confused by yourpatriot.com showing up on their card statements. Most of these are stemming from a state wide event here in Wisconsin hosted by the state Republican Party (one of our customers). If you know you have contributed to that group, or have paid for the upcoming convention, that is most likely the basis for the charge. If you need more information, please call us first before you call your bank and request a charge-back.

Dane County Party Testimonial

We received a nice testimonial from one of the county parties here in Wisconsin and we thought we would share it with you. I have posted the testimonial on the Case Studies page for your reading pleasure.

Multiple Bank Accounts

February 29, 2008 8:59 AM

Large update last night, and in it quite a few of your feature requests. The largest ones are the ability to have multiple bank accounts with direct deposit capabilities. These are already being used by state and county parties to handle the separation of federal and state funds as well as some non-profits that need to keep donations separated. Also in the update was the increased deposit frequency for races near their election. Rather than twice weekly deposits, we will now do daily if you are close to your election. See the discussion forums for more update details.

State Campaign Finance Reporting

January 19, 2008 9:40 AM

Wisconsin state reporting is coming on-line. Our flexible interface allows you to not only view the reports, but also to export them as PDF, or even Excel documents. At this time we offer Schedule 1A with more schedules on the way soon, but since this is the one most people have issues with (and takes the most time), we decided to hit it first. Currently we are not charging anything additional for state reporting, so sign up today as this might change in the future. Since most states have similar reporting, let us know if you need this modified for your state.

Unique & flexible fee structure

We bill you quarterly to use all of the features available inside of Patriot, but you choose the rate that makes the most sense.
