Obama is attending a fundraiser with 25 supporters who each paid $35,800 toward his re-election effort. The event is at a hotel just blocks from the White House.
Obama made his way to the Jefferson Hotel just minutes after returning from a two-day visit to college campuses where he promoted a plan to renew a low-interest student loan program.
As with other events, the $895,000 raised is split between Obama's re-election campaign and the Democratic Party.
As of the end of March, Obama had raised about $350 million for his re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee so far in this election cycle.
