Abstract
There have been many studies on political donors and their motivations. Particularly, the motivations of small donors in comparison to large donors have generated substantial interest. The Federal Election Commission requires donations to be disclosed only if they meet or exceed a $200 threshold. Those who meet that threshold are “large donors”, those who donate less than $200 are “small donors”. As a result, small donors have proved difficult to study because their information is not publicly available.
