party funding
Political contribution money
Party funding is money that supports a political party's operations and campaigns.
Sources include membership dues, individual donations, corporate contributions, and in some countries, public subsidies.
Rules governing party funding vary widely: some nations cap donations or ban corporate money, while others allow unlimited contributions.
