Some candidates (particularly President Trump in 2020) who raise money indirectly through other committees are required to list more small donors than those who use more traditional fundraising methods.

  • Donations made directly to an authorized presidential campaign committee: Donors are listed only if their aggregate contributions to a candidate exceed $200.
  • Donations made to a presidential candidate indirectly through another committee: Donors are listed no matter how small their total aggregate giving.

This means some presidential candidates have disclosed the names of nearly every donor in a ZIP code, while others may list only those who have given more than $200.
