You have your X and Y scales confused. You should be plotting the number
of contributors as the Y axis, rather than the X: that little S-shape
between 100 and 1000 should illustrate why. This should be a standard
histogram, using bars: lines are better suited for illustrating trends
over time.
I'm also wondering what point is being made. If you're saying that
large-amount donors are rare while small-amount donors are more
plentiful, that's not exactly a big insight: it's true about most
charities and non-profits. If you're saying that the number of people
who fund UCD is much smaller than the total local population, then a)
that's true about most charities and non-profits as well, and thus
trivial, and b) that's a point better illustrated with a bar graph or a
pie chart.
I suggest this for further reference:
