No. All donations you make to organizations recommended by Focus for Democracy go directly and entirely to those organizations.  Focus for Democracy does not deduct any funds to support our own operations. Key supporters separately cover our operating costs, so you can be assured that all donated funds will go directly to the programs we’ve recommended.
