Why is there a $1 pending charge in my bank account?
If a card is being stored so that it can be charged later, we send a request to the bank for a $0 or a $1 authorization for verification. Then, we reverse our authorization request immediately. It can take a bank anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks for the pending charge to be removed.
Can I use the same credit card for multiple email address / RAISE account?
For your security, we allow only one credit card to be linked to one email address (RAISE account). You can use the same email address (RAISE account) to donate to other organizations who partner with us. If you want to change your email address for your RAISE account, please contact us.

Your donations are not tax-deductable to our Super PAC. The IRS states, "You cannot deduct contributions made to a political candidate, a campaign committee, or a newsletter fund. Advertisements in convention bulletins and admissions to dinners or programs that benefit a political party or political candidate are not deductible."
