You'll recall that we had to buy a sh*tload of grocery bags that were not included in our initial data thread
And then had to buy another sh*tload the next day 🤦♂️
Those paper bag runs added $386.94 to the expenditures ($193.47 x 2)
That put the grand total spent at $55,426.68:
➡️ $10 for cashier's check
➡️ $55,029.74 for food
➡️ $386.94 for bags
The Bag Fund donations exceeded what we needed though, so we capped 2020's #'s at actual expenditures and will hold the rest for 2021 (more on that down-thread)
Counting the new donors who contributed to The Bag Fund, and de-duplicating the folks who'd already donated to the main fundraiser, we ended up with 825 total donors
*Excluding the matchers,* here's the revised donations-by-platform breakdown with # of donors in parentheses:
➡️ GoFundMe (365): $16,542.00
➡️ CashApp (46): $1,328.47
➡️ Venmo (170): $8,172.74
➡️ PayPal (221): $9,346.78
➡️ Cash (1): $16.62
PRE-MATCHES SUBTOTAL (803): $35,406.61
Then 2 of the matchers also contributed to The Bag Fund, so here are the revised matcher numbers (with donation platform on left):
And since several of the donors to The Bag Fund donated via PayPal, the merchant fees charged also changed slightly:
The folks who donated to The Bag Fund that were beyond what we actually spent are part of the initial list for 2021
We've got $786.60 carrying over to start the next event:
In terms of how many students we've actually served each year, here's the best data Turquoise and I were able to come up with based on her records and my old tweets+texts:
I know with 100% certainty that 2015 is accurate (because it was so small) and 2020 is accurate (because it just happened), but I don't know for sure how close the others years' numbers are because it wasn't a data point I tracked 🤦♂️

That's all I've got for tonight
I've got 2 more charts yet to finish; one is a straight expenditure-per-student, and the other is a requested "fair market value" per bag based on retail costs of the same products
@GomeralDAL is working on some stuff too IIRC, including tonnage
I also just realized there's a typo in this tweet 🤦♂️
The PayPal donor # is 219, not 221 (the +2 discrepancy are Bag Fund donors who'd also donated to the initial drive)
So total non-match donors is 801, then 24 matchers, for the 825 total donors

This is what I get for tweeting spreadsheet data at 3:30am 😂
Good night y'all
Yeah I did after that 😂 Wanted to get everything done though so I could finally "close out" the fundraiser; sharing the end data is a standard part of our process

Short answer is I don't know yet 😂
Historically I've encouraged folks to use Venmo, CashApp, or the "Friends & Family" option on PayPal to avoid merchant fees – but we were very close to the transaction maximums for each of them this year 😬
