I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'miniscule' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'each donation pre-distribution' is the wordplay.
'distribution' indicates an anagram.
'each'+'donation'+'pre'='eachdonationpre'
'eachdonationpre' anagrammed gives 'A DROP IN THE OCEAN'.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for a drop in the ocean that I've seen before include "It'll have no great effect" , "result of walking the plank?" , "Splashdown" , "Certainly no effect of global warming" , "An Arctic plunge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
