Methodology

The data used here comes from the Commission Nationale des Comptes de Campagne et des Financements Politiques (CNCCFP) and includes all political donations (reported in Euro) documented in the "Dons_de_personne_physique" field.

Unlike other regions, French data is published as an annual aggregate per party, and the identity of individual donors is protected by privacy laws.

Due to national regulations, France does not publish the identities of individual political donors. Consequently, we do not displays audited total aggregate amounts per party rather than individual transaction records. Features like "Top Donors" or "Donor Search" are disabled for this region.

The dataset covers published political contributions starting from 2010.

Records since 2024 are preliminary and subject to ongoing filings or retrospective updates by the source authority.

DonationWatch applies a minimum inclusion threshold of €7,500.00 per transaction for this dataset.

This threshold is configured by us to avoid an excessive volume of small donations, and may be higher than the minimum amount exported by the upstream registry. Contributions with an absolute value below this amount are filtered out.

Party-level inclusion threshold: To focus on active political entities, only parties with at least €800,000.00 in cumulative donations are included in the compiled dataset.

Raw disclosures undergo deterministic, rule-based normalization during ingestion to standardize entity names, consolidate organizational branches, and exclude non-qualifying entries:

• Base string cleaning: All entity names undergo Unicode NFKC normalization, trimming of surrounding quotation marks and trailing commas, and collapsing of duplicate whitespace.
• Receiver mapping & consolidation: Reported recipient names are mapped to canonical political party entities. Where registers report contributions to regional, local, or youth party units separately, they are consolidated into a single party total (listed in Aggregated Receivers below when applicable).

Our compiled, normalized dataset and visualizations are released under the CC BY 4.0 licence.

For researchers, journalists, and data scientists, the complete normalized dataset for France can be downloaded via our Download bulk dataset (CSV / JSON), and the exact ingestion and normalization rules can be audited in our Inspect country loader source code (GitHub).
