soft money

Explanation:

Soft money is money that is donated to political parties where the purpose is not to promote a specific candidate

There are no limits on soft money and some examples are donations for posters, stickers, radio and television spots supporting a particular party platform or idea but not a concrete candidate.

Such donations in presidential elections amount to hundreds of millions of dollars.
