A total of six people with addresses in Princeton donated $750 to the national truck convoy.
The spreadsheet from the GiveSendGo campaign was reportedly leaked by hackers last week, with donor names, emails, donation amounts and postal codes included.
The highest donation from Princeton was $300. There were four $100 donations and one contribution of $50.
Some donors also left comments on the website. One person from Princeton wrote: “Thank you for the hope you’re giving to so many. Hold strong for freedom.”
Initially, funding for the convoy was done through GoFundMe, but the crowdfunding site closed the campaign on Feb. 4, for alleged violations of its terms of service.
Organizers then launched a second fundraising campaign using the GiveSendGo platform. The platform is described as a Christian crowdfunding site.
On Feb. 14, the site was offline. Donor information was later posted online. According to the information, 55 per cent of donations are from the United States, while 38 per cent are from Canada. However, Canadian donations made up the largest share of the money received in the campaign.
The GiveSendGo campaign had raised more than US $9 million in its goal.
The convoy, referred to as the Freedom Convoy by organizers, reached Ottawa in late January. The convoy began as a protest against restrictions requiring truckers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to cross the Canada-U.S. border
Approximately 150 attended the first Freedom Convoy rally at the town cenotaph Jan. 29. About 50 people rallied at the arena Feb. 12.
