The dark money nonprofit launched by Hillary Clinton following her defeat against Donald Trump relied heavily on just six donors and an $800,000 money transfer from her former presidential campaign committee during its first year, according to tax forms provided to the Washington Free Beacon.

Clinton's nonprofit, the New York-based Onward Together, was incorporated on April 24, 2017, by Marc Elias

, a prominent Democratic lawyer and partner at the Washington, D.C.-based Perkins Coie law firm, filings show. Elias served as Clinton's top campaign lawyer.

Clinton launched Onward Together to allow her to be a part of the resistance against Trump and to encourage "people to organize, get involved, and run for office." The group would additionally send money to already established liberal groups who could provide direct action against Trump and Republicans.

Onward Together, which is a 501(c)(4) "social welfare" group

that is not required to disclose its donors, reports contributions from seven unnamed individuals in the amounts of $800,000, $500,000, $11,419, $7,266, $7,000, $5,710, and $5,190. The remaining $1.8 million came from individuals who provided $5,000 or less.

While the donors are not listed on the tax forms, the Free Beacon previously found that Clinton had made a $800,000 transfer from Hillary for America, her campaign committee, to Onward Together days after the group was incorporated. That transfer alone accounted for 25 percent of the group's total funds.

The donations ranged between $30,000 and $100,000 and went to the Color of Change PAC, Emerge America, Emily's List, Swing Left, Run for Something, National Redistricting Foundation, Latino Victory Project, IVote, Alliance for Youth Action, the Arena, Collective Future, Ultraviolet, and Voto Latino.

Dennis Cheng, Onward Together's finance director who previously was the chief development officer at the Clinton Foundation from 2011 to 2015 and the national finance chair for Clinton's 2016 campaign, was paid a $60,000 salary for 30 hours of work per week.

Kelly Mehlenbacher, the group's chief operating officer, was paid $35,000 for 20 hours of work per week while Huma Abedin, the longtime Clinton aide who is listed as an officer of the group, collected $45,000 for a reported 15 hours of work per week.
