Hillary for America Raised $29.3 Million in March, Began April with About $29 Million Cash on Hand
Today, Hillary for America (HFA) filed its April monthly FEC report covering the month of March. The report shows that HFA began April with about $29 million in the bank after raising more than $29.3 million in primary contributions in March thanks to more than 670,000 contributions from about 400,000 people during the month. The average donation was about $45 and more than 50 percent of the $29.3 million came from grassroots online donations. Clinton now has more than 1,100,000 contributors.
“We head into the homestretch of the primary in strong financial shape with the resources we need to continue to run a competitive race through the end of the primary and the road ahead,” said Hillary for America Campaign Manager, Robby Mook.
"
Thanks to smart investments and the help of more than 1.1 million people who have donated to this campaign, Hillary Clinton has earned more than 2.5 million votes more than her opponent and opened up a nearly insurmountable pledged delegate lead.”
Clinton brought in $29,342,932.56 in primary donations through Hillary for America and the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) in March of 2016.
Clinton raised roughly $11 million in March in contributions of $200 or less (unitemized directly raised to HFA and unitemized allocations from HVF), and more than 60 percent of the campaign’s contributions for the month were from women.
Hillary for America is also continuing the tradition of transparency she started in 2008 and is voluntarily publishing a list of her top volunteer fundraisers, found here on her website.

Filter column A, which indicates the type of contribution, disbursement, or debt on the report, to “SA18” to show the transfers and allocations from HVF reported on line 18.
Filter column E, which indicates if the item on the report is a transfer or allocation from HVF to HFA, to “SA18” to show only the itemized and unitemized allocations. Those steps will remove transfers and partnerships while leaving the amounts allocated from individuals and other political committees.
Sum column U, which shows the contributions amounts, to see total allocation from HVF to HFA.
