What is C-SMART?
C-SMART is the Campaign Finance Board’s web-based application used by campaigns to disclose their financial activity. C-SMART allows campaigns to:
- Record financial transactions and upload documentation
- Submit disclosure to the CFB and the New York State BOE
- Track fundraising activity and store contributors’ contact information and donation history
- Produce reports on compliance issues and financial activity
- Communicate with supporters using pre-installed letter templates
- Upload contribution data and documentation from NYC Votes Contribute, the CFB’s credit card processing platform
C-SMART Help
On this page, you can find assistance on entering transactions, uploading documentation, running reports, and submitting disclosure statements in C-SMART. Each document is focused on a specific function and contains step-by-step instructions and descriptions.
If you are a campaign trying to log into C-SMART, first log into your C-Access account with your username and password and click the C-SMART button under the C-Access logo. Next, you will be prompted to enter your encryption key. Your username and encryption key were both provided when your campaign first registered with the CFB.
