Findings
Worth a look Gifts · the statement
Lists $1,131.20 in gifts from California State University, Fresno Foundation in 2024; the limit from one source is $590
The statement lists 1 gift(s) from California State University, Fresno Foundation dated in 2024, totalling $1,131.20. The gift limit from a single source was $590 for 2024 (Government Code 89503).
What to check- Whether part of it was returned, or paid back, in time to not count (the filer's comments often say).
- Whether the gifts are from one source (a couple is two sources) or are of a kind the limit doesn't cover (family, wedding gifts and the like).
- The FPPC's gift fact sheet and Regulation 18940.2 for the exceptions.
Gifts: California State University, Fresno Foundation $1,131 2024-10-12 p.4
Rule: Gifts from one source over the yearly limit
“The gift limit increased to $630 for calendar years 2025 and 2026. The gift limit in calendar year 2024 was $590.”Form 700 (2025/2026), What's New ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
