This is an analysis of the publicly available information about Axanar’s Indiegogo campaign, launched in July 2015, and concluded in January 2016 after the filing of a copyright infringement lawsuit against Axanar Productions and executive producer Alec Peters by CBS and Paramount Pictures.
Donations Divvied Up
The campaign ended with a total $574,434 raised from 7,660 donors. However, 1,182 donors appeared to give without selecting perks. The analysis below is based only on the amount raised from donors who did choose perks ($496,645).1)
The following figures demonstrate:
- Donors of small amounts (under $100) made up more than three-fourths of the total number of those who supported Axanar (Figure 1).
- However, those small donations only made up 40 percent of the total dollars raised (Figure 2).
- Just a sliver of donors (25, or 0.4 percent) made contributions of more than $1,000 (Figure 1). In fact, just seven donated $50,000 — 10 percent of what was raised from perk-picking contributors.
- Those 25 donors contributed almost one-fifth of the dollars raised (Figure 2).
- Meanwhile, mid-level donors (between $100-$600) were only a quarter of those who supported the campaign (Figure 1), but made up 43 percent of the total dollars raised (Figure 2).
