Who funds this campaign The sources split breaks down the receipts the headline adds up, by the lines of each report behind it; its parts add up to the headline. Open its “Why this number?” for each report’s lines. 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 →

5% of this campaign’s individual contributions came as small unitemized donations — gifts under the federal itemization threshold (about $200 a cycle) that the filer reports only as a lump sum, never broken out by donor. The gift-size and location breakdowns below cover the itemized 95%.

Itemized $859K · 95% Small unitemized gifts $48K · 5%

Share of individual money that is small unitemized gifts compares unitemized small donations (filer-stated lump sum) with all individual contributions.

Show formula

The money a filer reported as an unitemized lump sum — small individual gifts that never cross the federal ~$200 cycle itemization threshold, so they are disclosed only as a total, never by donor — divided by all individual contributions (itemized plus that lump sum). Both figures come straight from the filer's own report summaries. The gift-size and geography figures on this page cover the itemized portion only; this share is the part they cannot break down.

Unitemized small donations (filer-stated lump sum): $48,289 ÷ All individual contributions: $907,764
