Fundraising. Voter ID work. Message delivery. GOTV.

All of these efforts are made possible with a phone bank.

The Jobs tab permits you to track progress on each call job.

But creating a phone bank is an expensive and labor intensive project. Traditionally you would have a volunteer coordinator working all week to fill the seats available one or three nights a week at the local insurance, real estate or some other office with lots of phones. Or perhaps you would have to rent an office and fill it with phone lines specifically for this purpose. Significant labor would be expended before and after every phone bank preparing lists to call and transcribing the notes from those call lists back into the database.

You'd ask volunteers to gather in the midst of rush hour traffic, feed them cold, take out pizza and work to keep morale up until the 9pm cut off came for making calls.

A virtual phone bank does not mean your work of identifying, enrolling, caring and feeding your volunteers disappears. But it does save you the expense of all those phone lines and database work. It does permit your volunteers to work at home (making it far more possible that they can integrate your campaign's needs into their family obligations).

When you subscribe to our Premium Campaign Hosting package, you get our Virtual Phone Bank application. Virtual means your campaign supporters can donate their existing phone service and work in the comfort of their own homes. We load your voter file into a database, household that data, write the queries needed to configure the phone bank jobs for you. We pull reports from the data collected by your volunteers and send that back to your campaign manager and candidate.

Please see the screen shots below for an idea of what this application can offer. And give us a call so we can discuss how the Precinct Campaign Leader Support package can help you raise the funds, identify the supporters and deliver the votes necessary to win. When you bring your business to CampaignFoundations.com, we will handle the database work, so you can focus on shaping your campaign message, supporting your volunteers and connecting with those voters whose decisions matter on election day.

Each make a call screen includes data on each voter in the called household.

Your volunteers are welcomed back to the application with statistics which acknowledge their contribution to your campaign and show that effort in the context of statistics showing the progress your campaign is making towards its goals.

The footer of the make-a-call form includes links to documentation for the application, links to your campaign's donor and subscription forms and contact information for your phone bank coordinator and to CampaignFoundations providing your users the technical support necessary to do their job.

Your phone bank coordinator will have access to statistics on the use of the application by each volunteer, sufficient to identify training needs, provide support and acknowledge each volunteers contribution to the effort.
