Giving falls for a second month

August's total was 12% lower than the $2,315 donors gave in July, which was itself down from $2,367 in June FEC +2. That makes two months of decline in a row FEC. The August figure also sits 17.4% below the $2,466.17 New Carlisle donors gave when the count began in October 2025 FEC.

Even with the drop, August's $2,037 came in above the average monthly total of about $1,547 since the count began in October 2025 FEC. The total has not returned to the high seen at the start of the count FEC. It has also stayed well clear of the low point reached in March FEC.
