What is PAC Profile?

Save time by viewing only the events of interest to you and your company. Coalescent allows you to create a PAC profile tailored to your needs. Your profile allows you to combine all your criteria information in one easy search. You may choose from committee assignments, candidates (incumbents, open seats and challengers), candidate's home state, leadership PACs, national party committee programs, industry events and miscellaneous events. Once created, your PAC profile filters events based on your determined criteria. You may edit your profile at any time.

Campaign Addresses

Because a campaign might have a number of addresses, either back in their home state or in the Washington metropolitan area, we have made it our goal to provide you with the one address you need to get your check to the right place and in the right hands. At Coalescent, you will have access to incumbent, open seat, challenger, leadership PAC, and party committee physical campaign addresses, which are useful when sending overnight correspondence. We provide you with complete listings including the official Federal Election Commission address and ID number, contact information, and when available, email and web site addresses that will provide you with an immediate link. For your added convenience, a listing of a member's legislative committee assignments has also been included in the candidate's profile.

Candidate Events

Washington, D.C is host to hundreds of events for candidates, party committees, leadership PACs and many other organizations seeking to tap its vast resources and powerful influence. This is not only limited to just Washington - think about the number of events held in a candidate's home state or district. Keeping track of this large number of events is next to impossible, not mention costly. Our system and service provides clients with event information they want or need. It is a clearinghouse for all events, fundraisers, meet and greets, steering committees and local events. Coalescent provides the who, what, when, and how. Detailed event information is at your fingertips. You can print a comprehensive list to hand out at your next fundraising meeting or through our partnerships with Vocus and PASS PAC software you can seamlessly and conveniently download our events into their event module. You can print out a list complete with a candidate's budget information, RSVP on-line to events, track your attendance and contribution history easily and systematically, a benefit that is truly helpful for quarterly reporting.

Party Committee Events

It's difficult enough just keeping track of events hosted by candidates and leadership PACs let alone the variety of functions hosted by party committees. With the increase in donor programs, the number of events sponsored by the committees has risen proportionally. From lunches and dinners, to trips outside of Washington, dates, times and event agendas will be available at your fingertips. Party committee events can be fully integrated into Leadership PAC and candidate functions, providing our clients with a comprehensive list.

Party Committee Information

The number of party committee sponsored donor programs has proliferated over the years making it difficult for even the most organized to stay on top of the numerous benefits each has to offer. Add the difficulty of having to collect large quantities of material from so many different sources and you quickly find it is impossible to keep track of it all. Coalescent has entered into agreements with each party committee and is making their information available on our web site. Donor program information will be easily accessible providing your organization with all it needs to make an informed decision about where your dollars are more effectively spent.

Leadership PACs

It seems everyone these days is setting up a Leadership PAC. Because they have become such an integral part of the way Washington works, Coalescent has dedicated an entire section to Leadership PACs. From elected leadership to individuals seeking to promote their agenda, both current and future leaders understand their impact. As a subscriber, you can find out which members have Leadership PACs and have access to all the relevant contact information.
