One of Yes! for Marriage's biggest donations — $6,750 — came in-kind from Roylance in the form of her book, "Marriage and Family in the Halls of the U.N.," which she says will help "counter the misinformation" presented by the amendment's foes. The biggest expenditure was likewise to Roylance for the purchase of campaign items such as signs, she said.

Pennsylvania-based Traditional Marriage Crusade didn't report any contributions and spent only about $10.

So far, Don't Amend's largest contributions have come from former WordPerfect co-founder Bruce Bastian and the Bruce Bastian Foundation, totaling $315,500.

The gay-and-lesbian advocacy organization Human Rights Campaign, based in Washington, D.C., gave $50,000 to Don't Amend.

Some individual contributors include Frank Matheson, chairman of Equality Utah, who gave more than $12,000 to the campaign, state Rep. Jackie Biskupski, D-Salt Lake, and former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Zimmerman.
