Small Dollars, Big Strategy: Brian Derrick

October 9th, 2025

“Money is important but not all powerful.”

“We discuss how the everyday voter can make strategic political campaign donations just like a billionaire.

Brian Derrick is the co founder of Oath, a donor advising platform whose mission is to empower donors to participate in our democracy by offering civic education and helping users manage their political giving to maximize impact.

Your civic action toolkit recommendations from Brian are:

1. Find an election you’ve never participated in before and get involved

2. Check out the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania, governor’s races in NJ and VA, and the California redistricting ballot measure
