Preferred term

soft money  

Definition(s)

  • Soft money describes financial contributions that are virtually unregulated by federal election laws, yet are used to influence elections. Originally designed to help local and state parties with party-building activities (such as voter registration or get-out-the-vote drives), soft money later was often used to fund “issue” ads for candidates.
