# Joint Fundraising Committee A **Joint Fundraising Committee (JFC)** is a committee created by **two or more political committees** (candidates, party committees, PACs) to **raise money together** and split the proceeds according to a pre-agreed formula. It lets a single large check be solicited once and then allocated across many recipients, each up to its own legal limit. The JFC is the mechanism behind the **mega-donor "joint fundraising" check**: because a donor can give the per-recipient maximum to *each* participating committee at once, a JFC spanning a candidate, a national party committee, and dozens of state party committees can legally accept a single contribution running into the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars — then parcel it out. The state parties, in turn, often transfer their shares back toward national priorities. For this KB, JFCs matter as the **legal plumbing of the seven-figure donor relationship**: the device that turns the contribution limits into a formality for the wealthiest givers, and a key tool in both parties' top-donor operations. ## See Also - [[Political Action Committee]] — base committee form - [[Super PACs]] — unlimited independent-expenditure vehicle - [[Tax Code Hub]] — folder reader map
