New federal campaign contribution limits have been announced by the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Per the requirements of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, the FEC must adjust certain federal contribution limits for individuals every two years (the beginning of each new election cycle), based on the Consumer Price Index.

The changes are indicated in this chart:

Recipients	2023 - 2024	2024 - 2025	Contribution Limit Period
Candidates	$3,300	$3,500	per election
National Party Committee (e.g., RNC, DNC)	$41,300	$44,300	per year
Senatorial National Party Committee (e.g., NRSC, DSCC)	$41,300	$44,300	per year
Congressional National Party Committee (e.g., NRCC, DCCC)	$41,300	$44,300	per year
National Party Committee for conventions	$123,900	$132,900	per year
National Party Committee for buildings	$123,900	$132,900	per year
National Party Committee for recounts and legal fees	$123,900	$132,900	per year
Senatorial National Party Committee for buildings	$123,900	$132,900	per year
Senatorial National Party Committee for recounts and legal fees	$123,900	$132,900	per year
Congressional National Party Committee for buildings	$123,900	$132,900	per year
Congressional National Party Committee for recounts and legal fees	$123,900	$132,900	per year
Note: Aggregate contribution limit for all of the national party committees of a given party (Democratic or Republican)	$991,200	$1,063,200	per year

The $5,000 annual limit on an individual contributing to a federal PAC, as well as the $10,000 annual limit on an individual contributing to the federal accounts of all state and local party committees of the same party in the same state, are not adjusted for inflation.

In addition, the FEC raised the lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for 2025 from $22,700 to $23,300
