The median is $50 and the 95th percentile is $200 so it's mostly small donations with a few (22) donations over 5K. Plus the one 215K whale.


What's the total number of donors / amount of donation? Apologies for not doing the research myself, I'm at work.


8.4M in donations plus another 0.57M going to GSG (not a bad racket eh?) over 92k rows. I'm using the word rows intentionally here because I can't make any claim about the number of actual individuals.


Thank you for all this great data! So the "big" donors (>=5k) are something like 4%. Truely does seem fairly grassroots-ish, assuming no shenanigans with the records people thing.


If you believe the donation display names in the file, you'd think this was all an inside job by Mayor Jim Watson, police chief Peter Sloly, Hunter Biden, Kamala Harris, etc. etc. ;)

The comments are.. special. Lots of Christian religious stuff which makes sense given the site's background. As someone who is very much not religious, this makes me just as uncomfortable.


I know a few people who made repeated donations, so you can't necessarily assume each donation is an individual.
