Findings

Worth a look Gifts

Lists $1,798 in gifts from University of San Francisco in 2025; the limit from one source is $560

The statement lists 6 gift(s) from University of San Francisco dated in 2025, totalling $1,798. Judges may not accept gifts from one source worth more than $560 a year (Code of Civil Procedure 170.9).

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.

Rule: Gifts from one source over the yearly limit
