The call time system for small Democratic campaigns.

Build a call list from your donor file. Make the calls from the iPad or iPhone in your bag. Log every pledge as it happens, keep the budget honest, and see where you stand on one screen. Built for whoever’s doing the fundraising — the candidate, a volunteer, or a first-time finance director.

One loop, start to finish.

Fundraising isn’t a mystery — it’s a week that either happens or doesn’t. The suite is built around making it happen.

  • Step 1

    Build the list.

    Raise Rate turns your donor file into a call plan — who to call, what to ask for, and what this week has to hit.

  • Step 2

    Make the calls.

    Your list is on the iPad or iPhone you already carry, in DonorDialer. Tap to dial, log the outcome, next name.

  • Step 3

    Nothing gets lost.

    Every pledge is logged the moment it's made, with the follow-up queued. Burn Rate watches the money going out and flags drift before it becomes a problem.

  • Step 4

    Know where you stand.

    Command Post shows the whole campaign on one screen — money raised, the gap to your win number, and what happened this week.

The honest deadline is the election calendar: a candidate who starts call time in September has a different fall than one who starts in November.

The parts of the loop.

Who built this

The tooling he wanted and never had.

Shawn Borich Hernandez has spent twenty years raising money for Democratic campaigns — city council to governor and U.S. Senate, with a lot of first-time candidates in between.

The suite is that tooling: the fundraising plan, the call time, the events, and a budget that knows what winning actually costs — the same system whether or not you have staff, built so it runs on the hours you actually have.

He built it because he has watched campaigns fail at exactly this — not for lack of donors, but for lack of a system that makes the calls happen and keeps the money honest.
