Actblue Montana's committee page on the Montana campaign finance public site: https://tcers-public.406dc.net/profiles/committee/1895
A campaign's money belongs to its election cycle. A 2024 candidacy raises and spends through 2023 and 2024, so the cycle total is the whole of what it raised or paid; the year columns split the same money by the date on the filing.
Actblue Montana is a CONDUIT, not a donor. It is a platform that passes other people's money through to campaigns. Every figure below is money that PASSED THROUGH Actblue Montana. None of it is Actblue Montana's own money. Never describe Actblue Montana as giving, donating, funding or contributing to a Montana campaign.

These figures are for Actblue Montana, 2024 election cycle. These figures follow the same rules as the public campaign finance site, because they come from it. Only filed reports count. Money a campaign moves between its own accounts is left out, because it is not new money. The contribution figure is cash, as on the state's Cash Summary, and goods and services given in kind are reported beside it, never inside it. Refunds paid back to contributors are subtracted. Other receipts are interest, rebates and similar receipts, not donations. A debt is money still owed, not money spent, and a loan repaid in full is not listed as owed.

The 50 largest of 5,285 contributors are shown.
Where a campaign refunded part of a contribution, the refund is subtracted: "Given, net of refunds" is what the contributor gave minus what was paid back, and "Refunded" is the amount paid back. The filing itself shows the gross contribution. A refund is matched to a contributor by identity, because the record does not link a refund to the contribution it returns, so a refund under an unmerged spelling stays unmatched and that contributor's figure stays gross.
