In SUA, un cetățean poate da $ 2.700 per alegere pentru un candidat federal, 5.000 $ pe an la un PAC, $ 10.000 pe an la un comitet de partid de stat sau local și 33400 $ pe an la un partid național. Cetățenii și societățile pot oferi sume nelimitate la un Super PAC. Un Super PAC este eliberat de legile tradiționale de finanțare de campanie, atâta timp cât nu finanțează un candidat sau o campanie sau de a coordona în mod direct, cu o campanie cum să-și petreacă donații.
