Article 27 THE ORGANIC LAW OF GEORGIA
ON POLITICAL ASSOCIATIONS OF CITIZENS
A political party may not receive (monetary or in-kind) donations with a total value of more
than 30,000 GEL (approximately €12,500) from any given natural person (including individual
entrepreneurs) per year or with a total value of more than 100,000 GEL (approximately €41,667)
from a legal person per year. These limits, however, do not apply to membership fees. In this
context, the LPUC explicitly provides that these limits include services provided for the party and
on the party’s behalf (Article 27, paragraph 3 LPUC). Furthermore, monetary donations and

membership fees are to be made via a bank transfer (with the exception of donations by natural
persons of less than 300 GEL / approximately €125 a year). The LPUC explicitly provides that
donations through intermediaries are prohibited
