Open Source Tools and Resources

  • ActBlue Connector for AirByteData Management

  • Archive of Political EmailsEmail

    Email archive that collects email from candidates, elected officials, PACs, NGOs, etc.

  • Can I Email?Email

    HTML/CSS feature reference for compatability and client support. Important to know that 60% of your recipients won't see your slick linear-gradient header, so be sure to set a fallback.

    Python library that uses machine learning to perform fuzzy matching, deduplication, and record-linking.

  • FEC Bulk DataDatasets

    Bulk data downloads for Federal committees.

Data

  • Accurate Append

    Offers political data lists as well as data enrichment, lead validation, and contact profiling.

  • Catalist

    Enriched national voter file with matching tools. Data is improved by sharing back program and response data from clients. Also offers many different behavior, demographic, and issue-preference models.

  • Civis

    Very powerful data analytics platform. Allows you to create complex automated data pipelines and offers language-agnostic scripting, preconfigured Docker environments, GitHub integration, and connectors for dashboards like Tableau and Google Data Studio, and data warehouses like AWS Redshift and GCP BigQuery.

  • Civitech RunningMate

    Data visualization software for constituent and supporter data.

  • Grassroots Analytics

    Data and tools for progressive campaigns and non-profits. Offers list rentals for some use-cases.

  • L2

    Data broker that has been around for a long time. Offers voter, constituent, and consumer data sets.

CRM/DRM

  • ActionKit

    Another Bonterra offering. Where EA/NGP prioritizes ease-of-use, ActionKit prioritizes powerful tooling for data management.

  • Action Network

    Low-cost CRM/DRM platform with organizing tools and bulk email/SMS. A good subset of NGP's tools at a fraction of the cost. Priced by emails/month.

  • Aristotle

    CRM geared toward donor management for political fundraising and compliance. Has a wide variety of data sources to enrich contact data.

  • CiviCRM

    Self-hosted, open-source CRM for donor and volunteer management. Alternative (with a bunch of elbow grease) to NGP. Large ecosystem of extensions and mature, well-documented REST api. Native integration with Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla.

  • EveryAction/NGP VAN

    One of the most widely-used CRMS, especially in political campaigning. Unmatched toolset for ease of use, especially for filing disclosure reports, but expensive. Their data enrichment tends to be the best.

  • NationBuilder

    Another popular CRM that has both advocacy and fundraising tools. Much cheaper than NGP/EveryAction.

Media Creation

  • Bannerify for Figma

    Generates HTML5 banner packages from Figma designs. Includes basic animation, hover states, lottie files, generating backup images, generating GIF/video versions, and injecting clickTags for major DSPs.

  • Creatopy

    Canva but for banner ads. Has a large repository of templates and includes some useful widgets such as audio, YouTube embeds, and countdowns.

  • HTML5toGIF

    Web service to convert HTML5, SVG, and Lottie to GIF/Video. Absent generating video locally from FFmpeg, this tool produces the highest quality exports of all the tools I've used. Excellent for converting HTML5 to video for Facebook ads.

Call Tools/Auto Dialers

  • CallHub

    Powerful calling platform with auto/predictive dialers, patch through calling, and live call monitoring. Also offers broadcast/p2p texting and email tools.

  • callTime

    Fundraising-focused call tool with ActBlue and NGP integration. Enriches donor data and uses machine learning to generate donor scores and ask amounts.

  • PhoneBurner

  • ThruTalk

    Fast caller that offers strong integration with ThruTalk.

Website Builders

  • Campaign Partner

    Website builder that's been around for a while. Features include online donations, event management, and a basic CRM.

  • PoliEngine

    Candidate website builder with fairly run of the mill templates but also very affordable pricing.

  • RUN!

    Candidate website builder for Dems and Progressive candidates that offers sliding scale pricing.

Media

  • Cision

    Media monitoring and relationship management (MRM) platform. Maintains database of traditional media and social influencer contacts and includes integrated pitching tools.
