Without trying a risk a sidetrack to much: I have to agree with the idea of the fundraising being with everyone else here and I'm really happy to see that. With the possible exception of the major/foundation gifts (which you could I guess separate off but it would be odd to have them separate from the rest of fundraising I think) our donors OUR our community in all ways. Not only do our readers and editors donate themselves (from what I understand that is the majority (i.e the annual campaign) but also the volunteers themselves are donors at least in my mind even without any monetary support. Their time is what makes us good.
