I'm no guru when it comes to this stuff, but I *think* I can answer some of your question... I don't see any reason why campaign gifts wouldn't count toward your total amount, so they should help to qualify you for the Jewel Society. The only catch is that Jewel Society is based on a fiscal year (I *think*), so that means it's June 1 - May 31, not the calendar year.
Congrats on getting near the Jewel level - that's awesome!
