Impact-aware alerts

Not every filing deserves the same noise. Pachand emphasizes material cash changes, fundraising momentum, outside spending, and unusual amendments — while still logging routine reports.

  • Material cash changeReceipts or cash on hand moved enough versus the prior filing to affect race strategy.
  • Fundraising accelerationPeriod-over-period receipts jumped — momentum worth a war-room look before the next news cycle.
  • Outside spendingNew independent expenditure activity on a watchlisted candidate or race.
  • Scoreboard shiftA candidate moved in the field ranking when a new report landed.
  • Unusual amendmentSame-period refiling with different totals — flagged so you do not trust stale numbers.
  • Routine filingLow-impact reports still logged, but de-emphasized so your channel stays usable.

Frequently asked questions

What is Pachand?
Pachand is a campaign-finance intelligence desk on public FEC data. Add committees to your watchlist for human-readable filing alerts with period-over-period context, compare receipts and cash on hand on a race scoreboard, map aggregate donor money by ZIP, and monitor outside spending — for campaigns, consultants, reporters, and political watchers.
Where does Pachand's data come from?
All filing and contribution data comes from the U.S. Federal Election Commission's public APIs and e-file systems. ZIP-level aggregates may be enriched with U.S. Census Bureau data. Pachand is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of the FEC, any campaign, or any government agency.
How are filing alerts different from the FEC's own tools?
FEC Notify is the official free alert when a watched committee files. Pachand adds human-readable summaries, receipts and cash-on-hand deltas versus the prior filing, filing-type intelligence, Slack and email delivery, race scoreboards, and aggregate donor ZIP maps — on the same public FEC data. We recommend keeping FEC Notify alongside Pachand.
Does Pachand expose individual donor information?
No. Pachand displays contribution geography at the ZIP-code level only, using aggregate totals. It does not show individual donor names, addresses, employers, or occupations, and itemized contributor exports are not available. Users must not use the service to solicit contributions or for commercial uses involving FEC contributor information, consistent with 11 CFR § 104.15.
What are the rules for using FEC contributor data?
Under federal law and FEC regulations (11 CFR § 104.15), information copied from FEC reports must not be sold or used to solicit contributions or for commercial purposes involving individual contributors. Pachand is designed for aggregate campaign intelligence; subscription fees pay for software, not donor lists. See our Terms of Use and Legal & Privacy pages for permitted and prohibited uses.
How much does Pachand cost?
Pachand offers an Early Adopter plan at $49/month with flexible monthly billing for invite-only paid testing during beta. Pachand Pro at $99/month (billed annually) opens after beta with higher watchlist limits. Both tiers include email and Slack filing alerts; optional SMS may be added when available.
How do I get access to Pachand?
Request an invite from the in-app request form. Approved users receive a code by email and can sign up to build a committee watchlist and configure alerts.
