The pie chart and the table below show the top interests behind the donors to outside spending groups. Not all outside spending organizations disclose their donors. And not all donations to outside spending organizations (such as labor unions) are identifiable as having been made for the purpose of political expenditures. For these calculations, we include only those donations to outside spending organizations that were made specifically to fund their political spending activities.

Based on data released by the FEC on Tuesday, September 08, 2020

Methodological Note: This page includes donations to the outside spending groups that can accept unlimited contributions. This includes "super PACs", earmarked donations that are reported by 501c non-profit organizations and earmarked donations reported by 527 organizations that use the contributions explicitly for electioneering communications or independent expenditures. This page does not include donations to political action committees.
