In 2013 and 2014, individuals were restricted to giving $2600 to an individual candidate and $32,400 to a national party, so this contribution would maximize the donation to the specific candidate and use the remainder toward a contribution to the national party.A person can give up to $2600 to an individual candidate and up to $32,400 to a national party, so splitting it in half would be possible.A person can make a donation of up to $32,400 to a national political party, so one option would be to give it all to the national party and assume that some of it is being used for the candidate the individual favors.This probably is not the best option, but it is a possible choice.Because the individual restriction on donations to specific candidates is $2600, the person cannot give all of it to the particular candidate favored.
