Transparency

We strive to provide clear and consistent information about political party donors. To achieve this, we automatically normalize certain donor names to ensure uniformity across our database. This approach allows us to maintain accuracy while accounting for discrepancies in how names may be recorded.

In the interest of transparency, we've compiled a list of normalized names along with their variations encountered in different donation years. Below, you'll find each normalized name followed by its variations and the corresponding years in which we encountered them. This list helps explain why you might see donor names that don't appear exactly in our source documents.
