General Operations
VIP Gatekeeper (“VIPG”) is third-party commercial vendor operated by PAC Management Services LLC (PACMS). VIPG enables contributors to make contributions of their personal funds to political committees. VIPG is only a processor of funds and not a contributor of funds. VIPG has no affiliations with any PAC, political party, or other political entity. It agrees to abide by all contribution-forwarding requirements under applicable campaign finance laws.
VIPG operates as a third-party commercial vendor and is fully compliant with all applicable federal, state, and local campaign finance laws, including the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (the FECA), and regulations promulgated by the Federal Election Commission (the FEC), including FEC Advisory Opinion 2021-07 (PAC Management Services).
VIPG facilitates the processing of contributions from individual contributors to political committees. In doing so, VIPG acts solely as an intermediary and service provider on behalf of such individual contributors, pursuant to FEC AO 2021-07. VIPG is not considered a person who “receives a contribution for an authorized political committee” as defined under 52 U.S.C. § 30102(b)(1)-(2).
Any service fees collected by VIPG for processing contributions or providing related services are commercial in nature, paid for by the contributor and not any recipient political committee, and are not considered contributions under applicable campaign finance laws. These fees are disclosed to users prior to the completion of any transaction.
All contributor funds processed through VIPG are held in a custodial account that is separate from VIPG’s general operating accounts and treasury. This ensures any contributor’s contributions are not commingled with the company’s own funds and are used exclusively for their intended purpose on behalf of the Contributor.
Funds contributed by contributors through VIPG remain the property of the contributor until such funds are successfully transferred to the contributor-designated recipient political committee’s account. No interest is earned or accrued on contributors funds while held by VIPG. In the event a contribution cannot be processed or delivered, VIPG will make reasonable efforts to return the funds to the original contributor. If a contributor whose funds are held by VIPG dies or is otherwise incapacitated, the funds will be returned to the contributors’ estate or designated representative, subject to applicable laws.
