83% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.

NC

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
