What EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR donors give in federal races

Two words, 123,461 itemizations

$31,486,128, 123,461 itemizations, and 6,540 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $255. Mean dollars per donor record is about $4,814. Repeat giving is about 19 itemizations per donor record.

The per-line mean sits with other mid-volume professional titles. The packet has no median and no nonprofit-versus-corporate split.

6,540 donor records used this title on at least one matching line. That is not a count of sitting executive directors.

Executive director is not director and not CEO

DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE, and CEO are neighboring occupation keys. Donors who type the two-word nonprofit-style title land here. Combining those strings without naming each source total mixes rank labels the bulk file kept apart.

This page cites only $31,486,128, 123,461 contributions, and 6,540 donors. The FEC record does not verify that the donor leads a 501(c) organization.

What the occupation column omits

The title does not encode sector, budget size, or party. A person who listed EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR on some gifts and DIRECTOR on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines. Occupation is per transaction.

LobbyVault does not infer motive from the title. Recipient committees are a different join.

Industry tables remain employer-side

Industry pages group employers. Executive directors in different fields share this occupation string if they typed EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. Adding $31,486,128 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see DIRECTOR and EXECUTIVE as separate keys.

How to cite the two-word title

Name both words: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $31,486,128 on 123,461 contributions from 6,540 donor records. Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. If a brief needs “nonprofit leaders,” that is a homemade cluster; this overlay does not publish one.

Nonprofit-style rank without a 501(c) filter

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR in this extract is $31,486,128 on 123,461 itemizations from 6,540 donor records, or $31.5 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact. Association and foundation staff often use this title. So do some school and clinic leaders. The occupation column does not tag tax status. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a NAICS industry code and not a licensing roster.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $255 per contribution and about $4,814 per donor record, with roughly 19 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Neighboring strings such as DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE, and CEO remain other occupation pages unless the bulk extract normalized them to EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 123,461 lines from 6,540 donor records is a two-word volume key, not a map of the nonprofit sector.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $31,486,128. A person who listed EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines, because occupation is stored per transaction. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, dollars equal $31,486,128, contributions equal 123,461, donors equal 6,540. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($31.5 million) are the same headline amount as $31,486,128, rounded to one decimal place. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see whether EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR is a high-volume stack, a concentrated pool, or a high-repeat status label. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.
