The National Education Association, a Beverly Hills hip-hop artist and hedge fund manager Orin Kramer are among the top initial donors to a nonprofit issue-advocacy group founded by President Barack Obama’s former campaign aides.

The group, called Organizing for Action, has raised $4.9 million since it was formed in January, OFA officials said in a statement yesterday. More than 109,000 people gave, and the average contribution was $44.65, according to the statement.
