| | | You can designate a 2020 Contribution, of up to $2800 marked Primary.
More details are here:
The FEC increased the amount an individual can contribute to a candidate to $2,800 per election, up from $2,700. Because the primary and general count as separate elections, individuals may give $5,600 per candidate per cycle.
The limit on contributions from individuals to national party committees also increased from $33,900 to $35,500 per year. This increase also affects the limit on contributions to additional specialized accounts of the party committees, which were first allowed through legislation passed in 2014. Each of these accounts can receive contributions that are triple the amount that can be given to the main party account, or $106,500 per account per year. These accounts can be used to pay for expenses related to presidential nominating conventions, headquarters buildings of the party, and election recounts, contests, and other legal proceedings.
