Targeted Campaign Resources and Contributions Program.

Presented by the Coordinated Campaign Committee
Updated May 24, 2006

The Coordinated Campaign Committee (CCC) of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) is excited to work with candidates and campaign staff this year. We pledge to work cooperatively with Greens across the country who are committed to running strategic, professional, winning campaigns. We want to help you win!

Targeted Campaign Resources

In order to assist campaigns in 2006, the Coordinated Campaign Committee (CCC) of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) is pleased to request applications for the following campaign resources. Please refer to the Quick Resources Application for more information or for instructions on how to apply for resources not listed here.

- Website Templates
- Media support
- CCC Manuals
- Use of National Donor Lists for district or selected zip codes
- Use of volunteer lists
- Advice regarding the campaign's ballot access plan, fundraising plan, field plan, and media plan

Note - If you would like to apply for financial support, please use the Full Questionnaire.

The CCC is proud to offer manuals such as the Campaign organizing manual, candidate recruitment manual, and ballot access manual: CCC Manuals. Candidates should read these manuals for help and advice prior to requesting assistance from the CCC.

Applying for the Green Contributions Program

Campaigns must complete and submit a Resources Application in order to be considered for any of these resources.

The CCC has a very small amount of money available to assist Green candidates. 

Campaigns must complete and submit a Resources Questionnaire in order to be considered for the contributions program.

Evaluations are made by members of the CCC's Resources Sub-committee.

Please read the instructions carefully and contact members of the Resources Subcommittee with any questions. In order to apply for the matching funds, the applying entity must be a campaign for office running on the Green Party line in a partisan race or as an acknowledged Green candidate in a nonpartisan race. State and local Green Party organizations are not eligible to apply for these matching funds; neither are campaigns that are eligible to participate in government matching fund programs with reasonable requirements. Campaigns receiving funds must document spending of matching funds in accordance with the proposed plan, submit all contribution and expenditure reports required by the government, and provide a brief narrative describing the use of funds and lessons learned.

Each applying campaign will be assigned a contact person to serve as a liaison between the candidate and the Resources Subcommittee during the application process. Any campaign that receives resources from the CCC will be expected to fill out a simple follow up questionnaire within 6 weeks after the completion of the campaign. This questionnaire answers will aid the CCC in providing resources to future campaigns. 

CCC evaluations provide a guide for party committees to use when determining how to allocate financial, human, and other resources. CCC evaluations are not endorsements of a candidate's campaign by the Green Party of the United States, the CC of the Green Party of the United States, the CCC of the Green Party of the United States, or individual members of the committees. 

The CCC would like to help promote as many Green campaigns as possible and strongly encourages all Green campaigns to complete the questionnaire. 

____

Deadlines

The CCC will review applications for all resources except matching funds on a rolling basis. Applications should be returned as early as possible as review may take several weeks. 

Matching Funds deadlines are July 1 and October 1 (if funding is available) of 2006. 

For details see program rules.

Presidential Campaigns

The GPUS has established a new committee to handle coordination with and assistance for Presidential Campaign efforts, the Presidential Campaign Support Committee (PCSC). While the CCC is participating in this effort, it is not offering assistance for presidential campaign efforts and requests that all questions relating to Presidential campaign efforts be addressed to the PCSC.
