    (a) Treatment as contributions. A gift, subscription, loan, advance, 
or deposit of money or anything of value made by any person in response 
to any communication is a contribution to the person making the 
communication if the communication indicates that any portion of the 
funds received will be used to support or oppose the election of a 
clearly identified Federal candidate.
    (b) Certain allocable solicitations. If the costs of a solicitation 
described in paragraph (a) of this section are allocable under 11 CFR 
106.1, 106.6 or 106.7 as a direct cost of fundraising, the funds 
received in response to the solicitation shall be contributions as 
follows:
    (1) If the solicitation does not refer to any clearly identified 
non-Federal candidates, but does refer to a political party, in addition 
to the clearly identified Federal candidate described in paragraph (a) 
of this section, one hundred percent (100%) of the total funds received 
are contributions.
    (2) If the solicitation refers to one or more clearly identified 
non-Federal candidates, in addition to the clearly identified Federal 
candidate described in paragraph (a) of this section, at least fifty 
percent (50%) of the total funds received are contributions, whether or 
not the solicitation refers to a political party.
    (c) Joint fundraisers. Joint fundraising conducted under 11 CFR 
102.17 shall comply with the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of 
this section except that joint fundraising between or among authorized 
committees of Federal candidates and campaign organizations of non-
Federal candidates is not subject to paragraph (a) or (b) of this 
section.
