Prohibited Contributions - Contributions in the Name of Another

Contributions made in the name of another are also prohibited. An individual who has already contributed up to the limit for a candidate's election may not give money to another person to make a contribution to the same candidate. Similarly, a corporation is prohibited from using bonuses or other methods of reimbursing employees for their contributions. Remember, parents may not make a contribution in the name of a child.
