Friend to Friend Organizing

Relational organizing that scales.

Help volunteers connect with their networks and record every response.

The challenge

Relational organizing has a scaling problem.

Volunteers log only a handful of contacts, and teams can’t clean the data behind them—so good conversations become missed follow-up.

512 in the network — only 34 become usable contacts.

Campaigns need more than a volunteer-facing contact list.

Organizers need

Visibility and control

Multiple ways to capture and clean information, with oversight of the whole program.

Volunteers need

A workflow that helps

Relational outreach made easier—not another huge data-entry project.

Threshold is designed to support both.

Built for serious relational organizing programs

Five ways Threshold turns relationships into a real program.

Geocoded contacts

Start closest to home.

Help volunteers organize the people they know geographically, begin with relationships closest to home, and expand their outreach from there.

Why relational organizing wins

The most persuasive messenger is someone voters already trust.

Voters are far more likely to engage when asked by someone they know. Threshold gives campaigns the tools to turn those trusted relationships into structured, measurable outreach.

Volunteers already have the relationships.

AI coaching helps them make better asks.

Campaign teams get cleaner data and clearer follow-up.
