Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $326k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
