What is the Campaign Finance Program?
New York City’s voluntary Campaign Finance Program provides public matching funds to candidates for mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president, and City Council candidates who qualify and agree to abide by strictly enforced spending limits. All candidates for these offices — whether or not they choose to join the Program — must adhere to New York City contribution limits, and disclose exactly where contributions come from and how their funds are spent. This information is audited and made available to the public through the CFB’s searchable online database.
