Rules and Regulations Regarding Contributions
Contributions are not tax deductible. Friends of David Chiu may accept contributions of up to $500 from individuals, PACs and non-incorporated business entities; under new San Francisco rules, we may not accept contributions from corporations, whether for profit or not. Spouses and domestic partners may each contribute the maximum, even if their account is controlled by the same person, as long as they both sign the check, credit card authorization form, or accompanying letter. We may not deposit your check or credit card payment without your name, street address, occupation and employer, and may not accept cash, cashiers checks or money orders over $99. A business and its owner, partnerships with the same general partner, and other affiliated entities are subject to a single, combined limit of $500. We may not accept contributions which have been reimbursed by another person unless you inform us of the true source of the contribution; we also may not accept contributions from foreign nationals; and we also may not accept contributions from persons who are negotiating City contracts subject to Board of Supervisors approval or who have received such a City contract within the last six months, or from the directors, officers or owners of companies who have received or negotiated such contracts.
