Contributions from Partnerships

March 4, 2014

A candidate’s authorized committee may not accept contributions from a partnership in excess of $2,600 per election. In addition, a partnership contribution counts proportionately against each participating partner’s own limit with respect to the candidate. Contributions made by individual partners from their own funds, rather than the partnership funds, do not count against the partnership’s limit. 11 CFR 110.1(b)(1) and (e). Contributions from professional corporations and from partnerships using the funds of corporate, foreign national, or federal contractor members are prohibited. 11 CFR 110.1(e), 110.20, 114.2 and 115.4.
