EVANSTON, IL
FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city EVANSTON, IL sum to $57,567,344 across 164,549 contributions. Evanston sits north of Chicago as its own city string, with more lines than Winnetka on similar dollars. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a campus headcount. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Key figures
- Evanston’s federal itemized city book is $57,567,344 across 164,549 contributions.
- Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
- Chicago is a separate city string, not inside this total.
- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Evanston beside Chicago, not inside Chicago
Divide $57,567,344 by 164,549 and the average itemized line is about $350. Winnetka, on nearby dollars, carries fewer lines. Evanston is the thicker of those two North Shore-adjacent books.
Chicago, Winnetka, and Lake Bluff are other Illinois city hubs on this extract. Skokie and Wilmette are other strings. They are not inside $57,567,344 unless the filer typed EVANSTON.
Office addresses can share the Evanston city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 164,549 lines are receipts, not unique persons.
Not a Chicago subtotal and not a campus roll-up
FEC.gov stored a city string, not an employer. Recoding Evanston into a campus map would be a different product. Adding Evanston to Chicago is also a recode this packet does not publish.
Keep EVANSTON, IL as the citation. Recheck $57,567,344 and 164,549 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions
- What does LobbyVault show for Evanston federal contributions?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city EVANSTON, IL total $57,567,344 across 164,549 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Evanston residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- Is 164,549 the number of Evanston donors?
- No. LobbyVault counts 164,549 itemized contribution lines for EVANSTON, IL. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $57,567,344. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 164,549 should not be quoted as an Evanston population of donors.
- Does Evanston’s total include Chicago or Winnetka?
- No, unless the filer typed EVANSTON. Chicago and Winnetka are separate city hubs. $57,567,344 is the EVANSTON, IL match. The 164,549 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this page. Chicago and Winnetka are separate city hubs; metro labels are not an FEC dimension here.
- How current is Evanston’s $57,567,344 figure?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $57,567,344 and 164,549 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Illinois non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $350 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
