contribution limits
Maximum giving amounts
Contribution limits are legal caps on how much money individuals or organizations can give to political campaigns, candidates, or parties.
These limits aim to prevent wealthy donors from having outsized influence on elections: Federal contribution limits restrict individual donations to $3,300 per candidate per election.
Limits vary by jurisdiction and type of recipient—candidates, PACs, and party committees often have different caps.
