Fall 2025
Finance Director Boot Camp
Application

Are you looking to tackle the role of Finance Director on a campaign?

The role of Finance Director is a high-impact position on political campaigns. Finance Directors lead candidates' fundraising efforts by creating and implementing the finance plan, overseeing and executing each revenue stream, and managing relationships with donors, other campaign staff, and the candidate. It is a role ideal for individuals eager to get campaign experience leading this vertical, who have been hired as campaign managers but don't have a background in finance, or who are seeking experience in this role.

Here's how it works:

Where: The program is virtual.

When: October 4th and October 5th, 2025 from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm ET

What: After this training you will be able to:

  • Plan by understanding how to create a finance plan and goals
  • Decide how to problem solve by collecting data, assessing data against benchmarks, using the finance plan to prioritize & project
  • Execute call time, events, meetings, donor management, and data collection and tracking to raise sufficient funds legally and efficiently
  • Manage people (candidate, campaign manager, finance team, and consultants), platforms, and data to achieve the goals outlined in the finance plan

There is no cost to attend.

Expect an engaging mix of presentations, dialogue, and live-fire action learning. The program will be led by experienced campaign advisors, New Politics Leadership Academy staff, and veterans campaign staff.
