Why don't look at samples of each chart and consider what you want displayed. That will decide it for you.

I'd like to see this data on a pie chart.
To illustrate the percentage of all the monies collected that each company's contribution represents, the best visual would be a pie chart.
Here's how you can create a pie chart to represent this information:
1. Start by gathering the data of the contribution amounts from the different companies. For example, let's say Company A contributed $500, Company B contributed $800, Company C contributed $300, Company D contributed $1000, and Company E contributed $600.
2. Calculate the total amount collected by adding up the contributions from all the companies. In this case, the total amount collected would be $500 + $800 + $300 + $1000 + $600 = $3200.
3. Calculate the percentage each company's contribution represents by dividing their contribution amount by the total amount collected and then multiplying by 100. For example, Company A's contribution percentage would be ($500 / $3200) * 100 = 15.63%.
4. Repeat this calculation for each company's contribution to determine their respective contribution percentages.
5. Once you have the contribution percentages for each company, you can now create a pie chart. Each company's contribution will be represented by a slice of the pie, with the size of each slice determined by their percentage contribution.
6. Label each slice of the pie with the company's name and the corresponding contribution percentage.
A pie chart is an effective visual representation to show the relative proportions of the contributions from different companies. It allows for quick and easy comparison of the contribution percentages without the need for numerical calculations.
