Of what traced, 53% to named individuals, 23% to organizations, 17% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 6.8% not itemized in the filings.

Gifts of $200 or less ($373) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

Read for the 20 largest groups of 123, 96% of the $476.1M spent. Shares are of what each group received, not a record of which dollar went where; an organization that need not name its donors ends the trail; a person who gave by more than one route is counted once here. It shows who stood behind the money, not what it was for.

All 14 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
3 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $4,409 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
