Reply #24: Let's look at Dean's Democracy for America fundraising from his website..

From the DFA website, the answer:

DFA has raised over $5 million since we became an organization in March 2004. We have donated money to 748 candidates throughout the country--in 46 states and at every level of government. We believe that Democrats will return to national prominence very soon. DFA will continue to endorse and support candidates and train campaign workers and volunteers in 2005 and beyond.

As a one-time contributor to DFA, DFA noted in a pie-chart I received in the mail that 33% of the monies they collected went directly to the candidates. Unfortunately, did not save the accompanying letter. Of the rest, 28% went for Staff Costs & Health Care, 20% for Communications:Mail, Web, Outreach, 10% to Administrative Costs, 5% for Trainings, and 4% for Travel.
