选举由您推动。由我们配捐。
The NYC Matching Funds Program gives everyday New Yorkers a real way to hold leaders accountable. It matches your contributions with public funds so candidates can focus on the communities they serve—not just the wealthiest donors.

New York belongs to the people teachers, nurses, taxi and delivery drivers, small business owners. We're the ones who keep the city running, the ones who make this city what it is. As everyday New Yorkers, we want accountability from our leaders.
Do they understand what's happening in our neighborhoods? We elect leaders who say they'll fight for us. But too often in local politics, special interests spend millions to buy influence. The result? When campaigns are supported by big money, leaders are accountable to them, not everyday New Yorkers. But here in New York City, regular people can come together and make sure leaders are accountable to us. How? Through the city's Matching Funds Program.
Here's how it works. Anytime a New Yorker makes a small contribution to a candidate running for city office, we match their contribution and multiply it by eight. So a $10 contribution becomes $90, the candidate can spend on flyers, events, and other ways to reach voters. The Matching Funds Program makes it easier for all New Yorkers to run for office, easier for people to support the candidates they believe in, and harder for big money to influence elections. This means you don't need to be wealthy to run for office and win. And you don't need to donate millions to make a difference in a political campaign you believe in.
The Matching Funds Program makes it easier for all New Yorkers to run, and we help New Yorkers elect leaders who are accountable to the people. We examine every dollar raised and spent in local elections to make sure candidates are following the rules and playing fair.
When candidates have to disclose where every dollar comes from, voters can see who is supporting campaigns. When everyday New Yorkers come together, we can build power to win big change. Our small contributions can make a huge difference.
Because of the Matching Funds Program, even an unknown candidate can run for office and win. So get the word out. And remember. Voting isn't the only way to have a say. Learn more at nycvotes.org/matchingfunds
什么是配捐基金计划？
它会将您的小额政治捐款倍增。
- 对于每一笔高达 250 美元的政治捐款，该计划以 8 对 1 的比例进行配捐。因此，如果您为候选人捐款 10 美元，我们将捐赠 80 美元公共资金。竞选活动将获得 90 美元，这有助于支付工作人员或竞选活动材料等费用。
它提供一个竞选的机会。
- 竞选公职不应该以谁拥有最多的钱来决定。这应该取决于谁想要产生最大的影响并帮助最多的人。
