contribution limit

Maximum allowed giving

A contribution limit is the maximum amount that can be legally donated to a political candidate, party, or campaign within a specified period.

These caps aim to prevent wealthy donors from exerting disproportionate influence: The contribution limit for individual donors to a federal candidate is $3,300 per election.

Contribution limits also apply to retirement accounts, restricting how much can be deposited annually into 401(k)s, IRAs, and similar vehicles.
