July ’16 Recap featured image placeholder

In July 2016, there were more campaigns, committees, and organizations raising money on ActBlue than at any other month in our history. Over 3,000 of them raised $33.6M from more than 1M individual contributions. It was another strong month for mobile donations: 40% of all contributions were made on a mobile device.

More than 66% of this month’s contributions were made by Express users. These are donors who have saved their credit card information with ActBlue, which makes it easy for them to give repeatedly.
