Agenda
10 a.m. Building the Infrastructure for PAC Match Success
PAC match programs are among the most effective tools to grow a PAC program. A successful PAC match incentive takes a lot of forethought and planning to make sure it is both manageable and provides a strong incentive to join. We’ll provide a high-level overview of how the best programs plan, administer and market PAC match.
We’ll discuss:
- Gaining senior management buy-in and strategies to address concerns about cost, existing charitable giving structures and more
- Budgeting for PAC match and different structural options to consider if budget is limited
- The best ways to structure your incentive to motivate donors to give at higher levels and boost your fundraising
- An overview of benchmarking data on how PACs structure a matching program, including minimum contribution amounts, vendor versus in-house management, charity options, charity disbursements and outreach to donors

11 a.m. Break
11:15 a.m. PAC Match in Action: Leveraging Charitable Match for Success
PAC match is valuable only if your donors know and recognize the benefit it offers to support both political and charitable interests. Hear from PAC leaders how they advertise and utilize PAC match, and how a program that already has PAC match — or is looking to start it — can take that next step.
Our speakers will discuss:
- How to incorporate PAC match in your existing PAC fundraising strategy
- What incentives, benefits and recognition are necessary when you have a PAC match option
- How to scale up an already successful match program to expand its impact
- Ways to partner with your United Way team or your company’s charitable matching program to help both programs succeed
