The latest AE911Truth fundraiser ended on June 13th
This one: "
ESO Fnl Ed World Premiere" to "Fund mktg/venue costs for multi-city cross-country tour for the final edition".
It raised US$ 4087.09 in 76 days towards a target of $ 8.400 (49%), from 79 contributions. That's $ 53.78/day, and $ 51,74.
Originally, this fundraiser was scheduled to run from april 24th to may 24th, but was extended twice, to june 20th and then to july 13th, apparently to coincide (roughly) with the end of the Richard Gage promo tour that ended on july 11th, that this fundraiser was supposed to help finance.
There were earlier fundraising campaigns in december-february and in april/may. In april/may, they had 2 campaigns at mostly the same time; both started on march 3rd, but
one ran through march 24th*) and
the other throuh april 8th. The former had 15 contributors, the latter 28. It seems reasonable to suppose that some of these contributors gave money to both campaigns, so the actual number of contributors to these two concurrent fundraisers was anywhere between 28 (assuming that all 15 who contributed to the former also contributed to the latter) and 43 (assuming that none did).

The following graphic shows these values, expressed as percent-values of their respective averages. Since the number of contributors in the second period has a range, I show the min and max as pale purple dasged lines, and some mid-point estimate in strong purple dashed. As a consequence, the dollars/contributor have a range, the max and min of which are schown as pale orange solid line, and a mid-point estimate in strong orange.
This shows, as would be expected, that the longer a fundraising campaign runs (green dotted line), the more contributors it has (purple dotted line).
But the sum of dollar contributions per day has been declining (blue solid line), and quite probably the average dollar contribution per person is also declining (orange solid line).
*) This fundraiser originally ended with 15 contributions for $879,11 (19% of target) - it now shows 16 contributions for 100% of target plus 11 cents. Obviously, it has been "pimped" after the fundraiser ended
