donation limits
Campaign finance constraints
Donation limits are legal caps on how much money individuals or organizations can contribute to political campaigns, candidates, or parties.
These restrictions aim to prevent wealthy donors from exerting outsized influence on elections: Federal donation limits prevent any single donor from giving more than a few thousand dollars directly to a candidate.
The limits vary by jurisdiction and type of contribution, with different caps for individual donors, political action committees, and party organizations.
