Donald Trump raised $90 million in August through his campaign’s digital efforts and his joint fundraising operation with the Republican National Committee, Fox News reported Wednesday.
Of the $90 million raised last month, a significant chunk is expected to come from small-dollar contributions to the Republican presidential hopeful’s campaign. Last month, Trump brought in $64 million through digital and direct mail operations and another $16 million through fundraisers organized by the RNC’s Trump Victory Fund.
While Trump’s total haul marks a major increase from the $51 million he raised in June, he continues to trail Hillary Clinton, who raised $143 million in August through her campaign’s own efforts along with the Democratic National Committee’s.
The Trump campaign began the month of August with $37 million cash-on-hand after beginning the summer with a mere $1.3 million available. Trump himself has repeatedly vowed to make multiple contributions of $2 million to his campaign to encourage additional donations from his supporters.
The candidate has yet to release a breakdown of his August fundraising figures, including how much cash he had on hand at the beginning of September.
