Hello,
The Dollar amount you see is just the number we have raised thus far this year.
The money is used for many different expenses as well as being kept in the bank.
In the CAG members section of the forum we have a "CAG Finances designated section". This year I started posting Quarterly Reports with a complete breakdown of the income of CAG and the expenses.
A good majority of the funds are in the CAG coffers.
An individual donated $2,000 of the Donation money and had instructions to use those funds for items in the CAG store.
Here are just the different CAG expenses at the halfway point (end of June) of 2011:
