We had 169500 first-time donors in April—putting us within reach of 2 million donors this election cycle. And here’s my favorite part: our average donation was $50.23, with 98 percent of those donations $250 or less.

In a twist, the Obama campaign also has marshaled Mr. Clooney’s celebrity to pump up contributions from small donors, raffling a pair of invitations to the party in return for $3 contributions.
