With the numbers we're using that would be about $32,800, 328 contributions of $100. Will be interesting to see if there is any pattern to each candidate's "seed donors".

Dividing the pot equally would then yield $323,800 to each, only a few thousand shy of the target $328,000. Allowing for the seed money offset, all five candidates would be essentially fully funded.
