Receipt is a broad term for all money that goes into a campaign account. While contributions from individuals often make up the majority of a campaign’s receipts, money can also come from other sources such as loans taken out by the campaign, dividends or interest on loans or investments made by the campaign, transfers of money from other political committees, and offsets to a campaign’s expenditures in the form of rebates or refunds.
