GOOGLE INC. as FEC employer text: $9.5 million
Contributors who listed GOOGLE INC. on federal itemized receipts account for $9,450,449, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 24,131 contributions from 594 donors. This is the INC. spelling with a period as stored, not the shorter GOOGLE key, not a NAICS internet-publishing total, and not Alphabet’s PAC. MICROSOFT CORPORATION is a sibling legal-suffix tech row. Packet facts for this page are $9,450,449, 24,131 contributions, and 594 donors, with top employer GOOGLE INC. Unitemized gifts never appear in that total. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov individual receipts, not the shorter GOOGLE hub and not NAICS internet publishing.
Key figures
- GOOGLE INC. as FEC employer text totals $9,450,449 from 594 donors.
- 24,131 contribution lines sit under that INC. spelling.
- The shorter GOOGLE string is a separate FEC key.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS internet sector or company PAC.
GOOGLE with INC. is not the one-word brand key
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. GOOGLE INC. is the form committees stored when filers typed the INC. suffix. The $9,450,449 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Alphabet’s disclosed PAC spending, not ad-revenue, and not a NAICS 519 rollup of web search and internet publishing.
The shorter GOOGLE string is a different hub. People who typed Alphabet, YouTube, Google LLC, or ENGINEER without the INC. form sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into GOOGLE INC.
594 donors and 24,131 lines
594 unique donors produced 24,131 GOOGLE INC. contribution lines totaling $9,450,449. That is on the order of 41 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count is smaller than the one-word GOOGLE row; this legal-suffix cluster is a distinct stored string. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $9,450,449 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 24,131 lines are expected.
MICROSOFT CORPORATION and occupation titles stay separate
MICROSOFT, MICROSOFT CORPORATION, IBM, and ENGINEER are separate keys — three firm spellings and one occupation-style row. Combining them with GOOGLE INC. would invent a tech-sector recode. This page stays at $9,450,449 for the INC. spelling only.
Occupation pages show titles stored beside GOOGLE INC. — software engineer, product manager, retired — as typed. DEVELOPER remains an ambiguous occupation-style row that may include people who omitted the company.
Donor table without antitrust inference
The GOOGLE INC. donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a search ranking, an ad contract, or a case caption to that line. Alumni who still type GOOGLE INC. remain in the 594.
Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the INC. spelling. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

Alphabet, YouTube, and the short GOOGLE key stay out
GOOGLE INC. is not the shorter GOOGLE hub, not Alphabet, not YouTube, and not Google LLC. Those strings sit on other keys. The $9,450,449 total, 24,131 contribution lines, and 594 donors describe this INC. spelling only. MICROSOFT CORPORATION and IBM remain sibling tech-employer rows. ENGINEER still holds staff who omitted the company.
Unitemized gifts, state races, independent expenditures that lack this employer string, and Alphabet PAC filings stay outside the $9,450,449. Occupation pages show titles beside GOOGLE INC. Alumni who still type the INC. form remain in the 594. The FEC field is not an HR export and not NAICS 519.
Open the GOOGLE INC. donor table for disclosed names and committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution, not a search-ranking or antitrust-caption inference.

Researchers who want an Alphabet-family recode must list GOOGLE without INC., YouTube, Alphabet, and Google LLC as separate additions. The $9,450,449 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on GOOGLE INC. as 594 donors and 24,131 lines. MICROSOFT CORPORATION and IBM stay on their own pages. ENGINEER still holds omitted company names. Follow recipient committees on the GOOGLE INC. donor table. Party share is not computed on the industry headline.

Questions
- How much have GOOGLE INC.-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $9,450,449 to the GOOGLE INC. employer string, from 24,131 contributions and 594 donors.

Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Is this the same as the GOOGLE page?
