Private Donations
Private sources refer to funds or resources that come from individuals, businesses, or organizations rather than from government or public entities. These sources often include donations, investments, or grants from private individuals or entities to support various initiatives or projects.
Private sources of campaign finance include any group who is not affiliated with a branch or agency of the government itself. This includes diverse actors such as individuals, corporations, non-profit organisations, lobbying groups, and others.
Before 1971, the main sources of campaign funds in the United States primarily included individual contributions, party funds, and corporate donations. Wealthy donors often played a significant role, and there were few regulations governing the amount of money that could be contributed. This led to a reliance on large donations from individuals and organizations, which raised concerns about the influence of money in politics. The lack of transparency and limits on contributions contributed to calls for campaign finance reform, culminating in the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971.

Campaign finance reform is the political effort in the United States to change the involvement of money in politics, primarily in political campaigns.Although attempts to regulate campaign finance by legislation date back to 1867, the first successful attempts nationally to regulate and enforce campaign finance originated in the 1970s. The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) of 1972 required candidates to disclose sources of campaign contributions and campaign expenditures. It was amended in 1974 with the introduction of statutory limits on contributions, and creation of the Federal Election Commission (FEC). It attempted to restrict the influence of wealthy individuals by limiting individual donations to $1,000 and donations by political action committees (PACs) to $5,000.
