The Obama campaign and other Democratic organizations raised a combined $53 million in March, according to a campaign video released on Monday.

That $53 million total comes from Obama for America, the Obama Victory Fund and the Democratic National Committee, among other groups. With the average contribution totaling about $57.78, roughly 97 percent of contributions were $250 or less.

The video shows several people from across the country who gave small donations to the campaign, which brought in more than 567,000 contributors, including roughly 190,000 first-time donors.

The Romney campaign has not released its March fundraising numbers yet.
