Hi Chuck,
since this is hopefully a less busy season of the year, have the internal
discussions yielded anything that might help in breaking these numbers down
a little bit more? :-)
Best,

Hi folks,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about how this information could be
useful
for local affiliates and communities. We'll
discuss internally to see if
we
might be able to share more information in the
future in order to achieve
those benefits in ways that don't raise legal concerns or create
excessive
overhead for our fundraising team. We're
entering into the busiest time
of
the year for online fundraising, though, so
it'll be at least a few
months
before we are able to address the question
internally.
