I'd be very interest in the distribution of donations? E.g. are there big donors or is the money mostly from small donors.

- monkeybutton 5y agoThe 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.
- advisedwang 5y agoWhat's the total number of donors / amount of donation? Apologies for not doing the research myself, I'm at work.
- monkeybutton 5y ago8.4M 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.
- advisedwang 5y agoThank 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.
- monkeybutton 5y agoIf 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.

- sudosysgen 5y agoI know a few people who made repeated donations, so you can't necessarily assume each donation is an individual.
- ineedasername 5y agoFrom another comment it looks like the IP addresses are not accurate. Otherwise, it would have been interesting to see if many small donations were coming from the same IP.
