Spotfund Launches Its “Politics Feed” for the Upcoming Presidential Election

BROOKLYN – Sept. 22, 2016 – Ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential debates, Spotfund, a mobile-first micro-donation platform, allows users to donate $1, $2 or $3 to U.S. presidential candidates through its iOS app. Spotfund recently launched this summer, giving the next generation of philanthropists an easy-to-use mobile app to contribute to organizations, and now presidential candidates, on impulse. With the addition of its POLITICS feed, users can choose to donate to five of the candidates with the drop of a “token.”

“Impulsively donating to a presidential candidate has been almost impossible for the everyday person until now,” says Spotfund CEO and co-founder Sanford Kunkel. “This year, Bernie Sanders showed how small donations can transform political fundraising. By giving our users the ability to donate with $1, $2 or $3, we’re taking the next step and truly bringing democracy to the 2016 presidential race.”

Spotfund enables users to donate to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, as well as the three third party candidates who are listed on more than 20 state ballots: Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party), Dr. Jill Stein(Green Party) and Darrell Castle (Constitution Party). All five campaigns are listed in Spotfund’s new POLITICS feed.

How Spotfund works:

Spotfund is a mobile micro-donation platform that allows you to fund causes and current events with $1, $2 or $3, making it accessible for any type of donor.

Donating through Spotfund is simple: Just drop a token to fund a story. Once you’ve made a donation, you can make an “additional anonymous donation” for those looking to make a larger impact. Afterwards, share it with your social network through platforms like Facebook and Twitter, encouraging your friends to give – and helping your cause go viral.

Your Spotfund Score tracks the size of your social impact. It increases with each dollar you donate – and with each dollar raised by the stories you’ve created and shared. If you donate $1 to a cause and share it with a friend who donates $3, you’ve earned a total of 4 points.

Download Spotfund from Apple’s App Store.
