How can I tell if a political contribution was monetary or non-monetary?
You cannot tell from the information in the political contributions database if a political contribution was monetary or for goods or services. The total value of political contributions reported includes contributions of money and the fair market value of contributed goods and services. However, the Summary of Political Contributions by Class form (Sm-C) contains a summary of this information. You can view this form by using the Search for filed financial reports. You will need to search for the filer and the report you are interested in viewing.
