Charitable giving and political giving live in different legal worlds, so the law rightly keeps the organizations that serve them separate. Donors should not have to feel that seam. Here is how our family is being built to serve both, honestly and separately.
Separate boards, separate books, separate records. One shared belief: your generosity belongs to you.
For political giving. A planned membership organization bringing protected channels and one-place clarity to campaign contributions: a protected email address and phone number for political donors, preferences that stick, and a clear record of every contribution. Who you are stays on the public record, exactly as the law intends.
Political contributions are never tax-deductible, and Ballotgrove's records stay clearly separate from your charitable wallet, so there is never confusion at tax time.
For charitable giving. Your giving wallet, your Pandokin.Giving address, clean data for nonprofits, and preferences that are respected everywhere you give.
Records kept there cover tax-deductible charitable gifts, and the wallet produces one clean statement at tax time. Visit pandokin.org →
Federal law draws a bright line: charitable organizations must stay entirely out of political campaigns, and we think that line is good for everyone. So charitable giving is served by Pandokin, and political giving will be served by Ballotgrove, a legally separate organization with its own governance, funding, and records.
What you experience is simpler than what the law requires underneath: one signup, one profile, one place to see your generosity. When you look at your wallet, charitable gifts and political contributions appear clearly separated, each held by the right organization, each labeled for exactly what it is. The structure lives beneath the surface, where structures belong.
Neither organization is formed yet. Ballotgrove is a planned 501(c)(4) membership organization funded by member dues, and Ballotgrove is a working name that may change. Pandokin is an early-stage startup being built to operate as a 501(c)(3); it has not yet filed for status. We would rather tell you exactly where we are than claim anything we have not yet earned.
Ballotgrove and Pandokin will be separate legal organizations. Nothing on this site supports or opposes any candidate, party, or ballot measure.
