Network Graph Details  

• Each donor Colorado county is a node. The size of the node reflects the number of nonprofit counties that donors from that node donated to. 
• Line length is weighted by dollar amount donated. Multiple relationships between two nodes are summed into a thicker line.
• Choose how many nodes to show (Google Fusion Tables applies an algorithm that adds and removes nodes according to their importance which is based on number of links to a node).
