How New York’s Public Matching System Works
NYS Assembly Campaigns
New York’s Public Campaign Finance Program is designed to amplify small, local donations.
The Matching Formula (Assembly Races)
For eligible donations between $5 and $250:
First $50 of a contribution is matched at 12 to 1
Next $100 is matched at 9 to 1
Next $100 is matched at 8 to 1
Only the first $250 of a contribution is matchable.
