(CNN) Businessman Andrew Yang raised $1.7 million during the first fundraising quarter of 2019, his presidential campaign announced Tuesday.

Yang's campaign said it had received contributions from 80,000 individual donors in February and March, though the Federal Election Commission reporting period covers the first three months of the year. Yang received more than $250,000 in contributions in the last four days of the quarter.

The campaign said the average donation was $17.92, and that 99% of the donations were less than $200.

Yang was among the first of the 2020 Democratic candidates to announce his first-quarter numbers after the end of the period Sunday night. Campaigns have until April 15 to file FEC disclosure reports with full details of their fundraising.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont announced that his presidential campaign had raised $18.2 million from 525,000 unique donors in the first quarter; Sen. Kamala Harris of California said she had raised $12 million from 138,000 donors in the period, and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg said he had raised $7 million from 158,550 donors.
