Who funds this campaign The sources split breaks down everything the campaign raised: the candidate’s own money (including self-loans), individuals (including unitemized small gifts), organizations and PACs, and “other” (in-kind contributions, loans other than the candidate’s, and the like) — open its “Why this number?” for the full breakdown. Gift-size and location figures cover itemized contributions only. Aggregates count everyone who gave, including donors below the $200 disclosure floor — a share across all donors identifies no one. Full definition →

Individuals gave 60% of the itemized money; organizations and PACs gave 40%.

Individuals (itemized) $976K · 60% Organizations & PACs $654K · 40%
Why this number?

Everything the campaign raised, split into the candidate's own money (own contributions plus self- and family loans), itemized individuals, unitemized small donations, organizations and PACs, transfers from other committees (FEC line 12), and everything else (loans other than the candidate's, in-kind, offsets and other receipts). The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is individuals divided by the total.
