The #1 Political CRM
Crimson is the preferred political management solution used by Republican campaigns, committees, PACs, and organizations of all sizes. The affordable, cloud-based platform provides functionality for every part of the political cycle including event planning, fundraising, accounting, donor management, bundlers, conduits and compliance. As the only platform specifically built for Republicans, it forms the backbone of GOP operations.


Maximize Fundraising Opportunities
Crimson allows you to keep an eye on your complete fundraising strategy. Get all the details on all your finance team’s activities all from your Crimson platform’s dashboards — prospect details, direct mail results, telemarketing plans, event RSVPs, online donations, and bundling programs through CrimsonRPM.

Streamline Event Planning & Management
From rallies and townhalls to parties and dinners, political campaigns are dominated by events. The latest version of Crimson includes a section specifically for events, which makes it easier to plan, track invitations, manage donations, and follow-up with pledges.
Through the Event dashboard, you can track upcoming events and locations, outstanding pledges, source codes, fundraising goals, invitee lists, and payment options. You can also create briefings for candidates or speakers and use the check-in feature to simplify the arrival and registration process at events.


Utilize Powerful Searches & Reports
For many users, Search is the core function of the Crimson platform. The new version not only adds additional search fields but also expands the flexibility and customization of query options. Each section contains its own detailed search option where you can adjust filters, output information and export preferences. Crimson automatically saves the last few searches and gives you the option of saving a search for regular queries that you need to run.
Each dashboard also contains a Quick Search feature to quickly find relevant information for data entry, events, money, accounting, bundlers and people profiles.
Maintain FEC Compliance
Federal campaign compliance filings are simplified with CrimsonFiler, which is included in the Crimson platform. A menu-driven process guides you through the preparation and filing reports with the Federal Election Commission according to their guidelines. Learn more

In order to win, campaigns must leverage data from a multitude of sources. With Crimson, you never have to worry if you have the most updated version of a file. Since the platform is cloud-based, all updates are saved in real time from whatever device you or your colleagues are using. Learn more
Work On-the-Go
