Contributors/Contributions A contributor is any person, organization, or group that contributes something of value to a political committee, including cash, loans, goods and services. Types of contributions There are five types of contributions:
  • Individual contributions
  • Transfers in
  • Loans received
  • Other receipts
  • In-kind contributions (goods and/or services)
Contributors/contributions included Political committees file reports that include itemized receipts and expenditures.  A receipt (contribution) is itemized when the contributor has given more than $150 during the reporting period.  Contributions from contributors giving less than $150 are not itemized on committee reports, and are therefore not included. If a political committee files electronically, all itemized contributor/contribution information is available.  Contributor/contribution information is typically not available for reports filed on paper. Itemized contributor/contribution information is available for some committees that filed paper reports.   Itemized contributions to candidates for the Illinois House and Senate, and to candidates for statewide constitutional office, are available for the period July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1998.  (For this subset of committees, the period July 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998 will be available in February/March 1999.)  See Contributor/Contribution Search to look up specific contributors.

Information available for each contributor/contribution
  • For all contributors/contributions:  contributor name and address, amount of contribution, and date received.
  • For contributors giving more than $500:  occupation and employer.
  • For loans:  total loan amount, loan endorsers, and amount endorsed.
  • For in-kind contributions:  a description of the goods or services provided.
