I believe this is classified by FEC as a "recount fund".

https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate-taking-receipts/recounts-and-contested-elections/

Funds raised and spent by a candidate or a state party committee to pay recount and election contest expenses resulting from the general election are subject to the amount limitations, source prohibitions and reporting requirements of the Federal Election Campaign Act, but are not contributions or expenditures.

Therefore, donations to a recount fund established by a federal candidate may not exceed $2,800 per person or $5,000 per multicandidate political committee. Donations to a federal candidate’s recount fund are not “contributions” and therefore are not aggregated with contributions to the candidate for the general election.

So can we anonymously donate here if we're in the financial services and would need to disclose campaign contributions?

If we could get a lawyer pede to confirm this and a sticky with where and how, that would be valuable.
