Hillary Victory Fund

The Hillary Victory Fund solicited donations online using a web form.[1]

The Hillary Victory Fund was a joint fundraising committee for Hillary for America (the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign organization), the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and 33 state Democratic committees.[2] As of May 2016, the Fund had raised $61 million in donations.[3]

The Fund's promotional materials described it as a way to "support Hillary Clinton and Democrats up and down the ticket."[4] Individual donations were first allocated to Hillary for America (up to $2,700 or $5,400 for married couples), then to the Democratic National Committee (up to $33,400) and finally divided among state parties.[4] During the primaries, the state parties received little of the funds raised.[3] The Bernie Sanders campaign criticized the Fund and alleged that Clinton's campaign was "looting funds meant for the state parties to skirt fundraising limits on her presidential campaign."[5]
