Transparency USA has made some New Year's resolutions!
The "Donors" category has been renamed "Contributors" to clarify
that not all contributions are monetary donations.
The "PACs" category has been renamed to "Committees," because the
term "Political Action Committee" is not used in every state.
Soon, we will be rolling out changes to better differentiate
between different types of transactions, whether monetary,
non-monetary (in-kind), or something else. These different
transaction types will also be handled more consistently among
states.
