This might be a new use case for NFTs. The FEC has approved NFTs for fundraising efforts.

The United States Federal Election Commission has issued an advisory opinion stating DataVault Holdings may use nonfungible tokens for fundraising efforts.it was “permissible” for DataVault holdings to send nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, to political campaign contributors without violating rules on corporate contributions.
