small donor
Modest political giver
A small donor is someone who contributes a modest amount of money to a political campaign, charity, or other cause—typically under a few hundred dollars.
The term gained prominence in American political discourse as campaigns began emphasizing grassroots fundraising: She built her campaign on small donors giving twenty dollars at a time.
Small-donor funding is often contrasted with contributions from wealthy individuals or corporations, carrying connotations of democratic participation and independence from special interests.
