November 3, 2020 Candidate Packet - Flipping Book Version

Per Election to Date The “Per Election to Date” column is generally for state candidates and committees that are subject to contribution limits. The Act does not contain contribution limits for local candidates and committees; however, local ordinances may include limits and other restrictions and reporting requirements. Local candidates and committees should check with the local elections office about reporting obligations under local laws. Schedule C Summary Complete the Schedule C Summary section by entering the total amount of itemized nonmonetary contributions ($100 or more) received this period on Line 1 and the total amount of unitemized nonmonetary contributions (less than $100) received this period on Line 2. Add Lines 1 and 2 and enter the total on Line 3. The amount on Line 3 is carried forward to the overall Summary Page, Column A, Lines 4 and 10. Reminder: Once a contributor has contributed $100 or more in a calendar year, all future contributions received from that person, regardless of the amount, must be itemized. Answering Your Nonmonetary Contributions Questions A. What is the value of the time provided by a graphic artist who volunteers to design a logo for my committee? The artist’s time is not reportable if it constitutes volunteer personal services. But, if the artist is an employee of a business and spends more than 10 percent of his or her compensated time in a calendar month working on the design, the paid compensation becomes a nonmonetary contribution from the artist’s employer. B. How do I determine the fair market value of a mailing list provided by another committee? The most common way for a committee to determine the value is to contact a business from which a similar mailing list may be obtained. 8 9
