The expenses Trump can't pay with Save America funds

Although the Trump campaign is still explicitly soliciting for "Election Defense Funds," money donated to his Save America PAC cannot be used to support Mr. Trump's own campaign or the cost of litigation arising from his campaign, Brendan Fischer, Federal Reform Program director at the Campaign Legal Center, told CBS News.

How can Trump spend his leadership PAC funds?

Fischer said Save America funds can be used for the president's post-White House political operation "to keep former campaign staff on the payroll, to fund Trump's travel and expenses when he is campaigning for other candidates, and to help finance rallies and events (as long as the rallies and events are pitched as supporting other candidates or political issues rather than as Trump 2024 events).".

Don't forget to give to local and state campaigns, too

With so many candidates, issues and political organizations to choose from, it can be difficult to know how best to spend money on political causes, especially if you don't have much to give.

1. Donate at the beginning of a campaign

"I don't come from a political background at all, I'm a small business owner," said Roberts, who runs a yoga studio and retreat. She left work for a year to run her campaign. So, on top of having to learn everything about campaign finance, she also needed to make up for the income she lost by not going to work.

2. Donate directly to candidates

At the city and state level, donating directly to candidates' campaigns, rather than giving to a political party, can be a huge source of encouragement for them, Roberts said.

3. Donate during the off times

Speaking of which, donating at odd times can help, too, Roberts said. Giving when the general population isn't thinking about politics can allow a campaign to continue when the coffers are more bare.

4. Donate to a political organization or action committee

If you're not supporting any specific candidate, or are more of an issues voter, it's a great move to donate to a political party, organization or action committee.

5. Every donation counts

If you don't have a lot of political donation money to spare, don't fret.
