Why Starting with Big Donors Can Backfire
Every candidate has the same dream early on: find that one major donor who funds your entire campaign. If only it worked that way.
In reality, big donors are approached constantly—by everyone from city council candidates to presidential hopefuls. They simply don’t have the time or trust to fund campaigns they’ve never heard of, especially if you haven’t raised a dime from the people who already know you.
If you haven’t raised money from your brother-in-law or college roommate,
why would a stranger invest in your race?
Major donors want to see traction. They want to know you’ve built something real—and that you have supporters who already believe in you.
That starts with your own network. Not just for money, but for message testing, confidence building, and campaign momentum.
