The Act Party has received another big donation from its long-standing backer Alan Gibbs.

Electoral Commission records show the party recently declared $32,000 in donations from Mr Gibbs - $25,000 in July and $7000 in March.

The entrepreneur and rich-lister, who helped establish the party, has now given nearly $450,000 to Act since the 1990s.

Last month, the Green Party declared total donations of $30,080 from James Jenkin, a beekeeper from Marlborough.

Mr Jenkin made a series of donations over the last year, including a $20,000 donation last May.

Single or multiple donations adding up to $30,000 must be declared to the Electoral Commission.
