03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
