Coal Faith Freedom Coalition (“JFC”) is a joint fundraising committee composed of West Virginia Republican Party, Inc. (“State Party”) and Capito for West Virginia (“Campaign”) (each, a “Committee,” and, collectively, the “Committees”). Any contribution to the JFC permissible under the Federal Election Campaign Act, as amended (“FECA”), from contributors who have not exceeded their applicable Federal contribution limits, shall be allocated among the Committees pursuant to FECA and the formula set forth in this Notice.
Contributions Made by an Individual or Federal Non-Multicandidate Political Committee:
Individuals or federal non-multicandidate PACs may contribute up to $17,000 annually. Such contributions shall be allocated in the following order:
1. State Party shall receive any contribution not exceeding $10,000 annually.
2. Campaign shall receive any contribution not exceeding $7,000, not to exceed $3,500 for the primary election and not to exceed $3,500 for the general election, provided such limits apply.
Contributions Made by a Federal Multicandidate Political Committee:
Multicandidate PACs may contribute up to $15,000 annually. Such contributions shall be allocated in the following order:
1. State Party shall receive any contribution not exceeding $5,000 annually.
2. Campaign shall receive any contribution not exceeding $10,000, not to exceed $5,000 for the primary election and not to exceed $5,000 for the general election, provided such limits apply.
Contributions to Coal Faith Freedom Coalition, or to any participating Committee individually, are not deductible as charitable donations for federal income tax purposes. Contributions from corporations, labor organizations, national banks, federal government contractors, foreign nationals who are not lawfully admitted for permanent residence (non-green card holders), and other federally impermissible sources are prohibited. The contributor’s signature designates his or her contribution to the elections described above. Contributions that exceed a donor’s contribution limit to a participating Committee shall be reallocated to the remaining Committees according to this allocation formula to the extent permitted by FECA. Any contributor may designate his or her contribution to a specific participant Committee to the extent permitted by FECA. Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer of each individual whose aggregate contributions exceed $200 in an election cycle or calendar year, as applicable.
