Prohibited Contributions and Expenditures

The FECA places prohibitions on contributions and expenditures by certain individuals and organizations. The following are prohibited from making contributions or expenditures to influence federal elections:

Corporations;
Labor organizations;
Federal government contractors; and
Foreign nationals.

Furthermore, with respect to federal elections:

No one may make a contribution in another persons name.
No one may make a contribution in cash of more than 100.

In addition to the above prohibitions on contributions and expenditures in federal election campaigns, the FECA also prohibits foreign nationals, national banks and other federally chartered corporations from making contributions or expenditures in connection with state and local elections.

I stumbled across this page while doing some political research. The fact I was looking for is corporations are prohibited from donating money to presidential candidates.
