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 23% of the itemized money; organizations and PACs gave 76%; other sources made up 1%.

Individuals (itemized) $162K · 23% Organizations & PACs $532K · 76% Other sources $9K · 1%
Why this number?

The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is individuals divided by the total.
