The Positive Impact

In the United States, donations to:

• political candidates or campaigns

• political parties

• PACs or Super PACs

• campaign committees

• ballot measure campaigns

are considered personal contributions and are not treated as charitable gifts for tax purposes.

Your contribution to Team MillerForward directly supports the work of building and sustaining this campaign for the people of Jackson–Madison County. Donations help fund the essential tools that allow us to reach voters, share our message, and engage communities across the county.

Campaign funds are used responsibly to support efforts such as:

• Community outreach and voter engagement
  organizing neighborhood conversations, listening sessions, and grassroots events

• Digital and print communications
  including campaign materials, advertising, and voter education resources

• Campaign operations and compliance
  technology, staffing support, and legally required reporting and election expenses

• Volunteer coordination and field efforts
  so supporters have the materials and structure needed to help spread the message

Every contribution, large or small helps amplify our vision of People Over Politics and moves Jackson–Madison County Forward.

Yes — you can dedicate a contribution “in honor” or “in memory” of someone… BUT

The donation must still be made in your own name (or the legal contributor’s name).
Campaigns are not allowed to accept contributions made on behalf of another person or list someone else as the donor.

That means:

• ✅ You can make a donation and add a note saying it is in honor or memory of someone

• ✅ The campaign may acknowledge the dedication in its materials if appropriate

• ⚠️ The contribution must be reported under the actual donor’s name, not the honoree

• ❌ You cannot make a donation using another person’s money or identity

• ❌ You cannot donate in someone else’s name to “credit” them as the donor

This is required under federal and most state campaign-finance laws to prevent straw donations and ensure transparency in reporting.

Bottom line

A tribute dedication is fine —
the sentiment belongs to the honoree, but the contribution belongs to the donor.
