State Laws on Contributions

Contributions are not tax deductible. Corporate contributions are prohibited. Individuals and non-incorporated organizations may contribute up to $500. Spouses and domestic partners may each contribute the maximum, even if their accounts are controlled by the same person, as long as they both sign the check or on accompanying letter. We may not deposit your check without your name, street address, occupation and employer, and may not accept cash, cashiers checks or money orders. Related entities (a business and its owner, partnerships with some general partners, a parent company and its subsidiaries, etc.) are now subject to a single combined limit of $500. We may accept contributions from all sources other than corporations, foreign nationals and persons who are negotiating City contracts subject to Board of Supervisors approval, or who have received such a City contract within the prior three months, or from their directors, officers, or owners. You may only contribute a combined total of $6,500 to all Supervisor, School Board and Community College Board candidates appearing on the November 2010 ballot. Paid for by the Carmen Chu for Supervisor Campaign. Labor donated.
