DIRECTOR occupation giving in federal filings

A mid-volume title with mixed meanings

330,088 itemizations against $88,429,618 implies about $268 per contribution. 16,313 donor records imply about $5,421 per donor and about 20 contributions per donor record. The repeat rate sits with other managerial labels rather than with thin C-suite keys.

MANAGING DIRECTOR is a different occupation page. Folding it into DIRECTOR would mix keys. This overlay cites only $88,429,618, 330,088 contributions, and 16,313 donors.

Executive director, art director, and board director may remain separate strings if that is how they were filed. Normalization is not a controlled job taxonomy.

Free text, not a board roster

The FEC does not distinguish corporate directors from staff directors. Employer text, when present, is the better workplace clue and is not one of this packet’s facts. Best-efforts collection records the donor’s word, not a secretary-of-state officer list.

A person who wrote DIRECTOR on some gifts and EXECUTIVE on others appears in both occupation totals. Occupation is stored per itemization.

What the donor count supports

16,313 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate and not a count of Fortune-board seats. Address variants can split records. Shared titles can make unrelated rows look similar in a scan.

Industry pages group employer categories. Directors appear across industries, so occupation and industry totals will not match. Adding them double-counts. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $88.4 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Using the hub

Open the DIRECTOR occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to compare DIRECTOR with MANAGING DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE, and MANAGER. Do not assign party from the title.

Source: Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are omitted. Harvested facts have no cycle year. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $88.4 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Limits

Live filters may change displayed sums. Film, nonprofit, and corporate uses of DIRECTOR share this key when the text matched. The three facts do not split those uses.

Researchers comparing occupation keys should keep DIRECTOR on its own line with its own dollar, contribution, and donor facts. The occupations index is the inventory of neighboring strings. Industry pages remain an employer-side cut and should not be added to this occupation total. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so $88.4 million is itemized activity for this string in the loaded extract. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $88.4 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions. Compact millions for this occupation string appear in the lede as a rounded form of the same headline dollar total.

DIRECTOR’s split meaning: board, staff, or film

DIRECTOR is $88.4 million on 330,088 itemizations from 16,313 donor records. Mean line size is about $268, with about 20 itemizations per donor. MANAGING DIRECTOR is a different key with a higher mean. Board directors, program directors, and film directors can share this seven-letter word. The FEC box does not split them.

Executive director and art director are included only if they normalized to DIRECTOR. 16,313 is not a Fortune-board count. Industry pages will not equal $88,429,618. For citation, occupation equals DIRECTOR, dollars equal $88,429,618, contributions equal 330,088, donors equal 16,313. Cycle filters on the live hub can change those displayed sums. DIRECTOR is a collision of board, staff, and film uses. Sixteen thousand three hundred thirteen donor records and 330,088 itemizations produced $88.4 million. MANAGING DIRECTOR is the two-word finance-and-consulting title sitting next to it with a higher mean line. Do not merge them. Do not read party from the seven letters. The occupation page is the row list.

Questions

How much have DIRECTOR-occupation donors given?

Occupation DIRECTOR is attached to $88,429,618 in LobbyVault’s FEC bulk index, from 330,088 contributions and 16,313 donor records. MANAGING DIRECTOR is a separate string. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.

Does DIRECTOR mean board of directors?

Not necessarily. Donors type the word for board seats and for staff jobs. The FEC occupation field does not classify which. $88,429,618 is the string total, not a board registry. The matching contribution count is 330,088 and the matching donor-record count is 16,313. Those three numbers are occupation-string totals from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault, not a licensed roster and not a party split.

No. MANAGING DIRECTOR has its own occupation page. This page covers DIRECTOR only: $88,429,618, 330,088 contributions, and 16,313 donors.
