GOOGLE as FEC employer text: $28.1M

A consumer brand in the employer field

Filers often type GOOGLE rather than Alphabet Inc. The $28.1M total is that brand string as stored. It is not a complete corporate family, and it is not the company's own political spending.

NAICS 519 is not applied. ENGINEER, DEVELOPER, and CONSULTANT remain occupation rows that may include Google staff who omitted the company name.

2,736 donors, 74,729 lines, $28.1M

2,736 donors produced 74,729 GOOGLE contribution lines totaling $28.1M. Unique-donor count and dollars sit near the MICROSOFT employer row, still as a separate string. Receipt intensity is high but lower than the MICROSOFT row.

Party share is not on the industry headline. PAC and independent-expenditure activity is not inside $28.1M.

Alphabet, YouTube, and generic titles

If a donor typed Alphabet, YouTube, or Google LLC as a different string, that is another key. This page does not invent a parent-company rollup. Occupation pages show titles next to GOOGLE.

DEVELOPER's ambiguity (property versus software) is a reminder not to treat every tech-adjacent word as this employer. Product brands (YouTube, Waymo, Google LLC, Alphabet) are other strings if donors typed them. The $28.1M total is 2,736 donors and 74,729 lines tagged GOOGLE. That is a consumer-brand spelling, not a complete corporate-family recode.

Donor table

The GOOGLE donor table lists disclosed names and amounts. A large gift is a public individual contribution. It is not evidence about a search ranking, an ad contract, or an antitrust case. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the employer name.

Former employees who still type GOOGLE share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR roster. MICROSOFT's the MICROSOFT total row is a sibling employer key, not a combined tech sector. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER still hold staff who omitted the company. Adding those occupation rows to GOOGLE invents a recode; document it if you do.

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $28.1M, 74,729 contributions, 2,736 donors, top employer GOOGLE. Unitemized and non-federal activity are omitted.

Follow recipient committees from the table. Antitrust and ad-tech policy debates are not in the industry headline. Recipient committees on the donor table are the disclosed destinations. LobbyVault does not attach a case caption to the $28.1M figure.

Alphabet family names this brand string misses

GOOGLE as typed is not Alphabet, YouTube, Google LLC, or every product brand. The $28.1M total, 74,729 contribution lines, and 2,736 donors are this spelling. MICROSOFT is a sibling employer row, not a combined tech total. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER capture staff who omitted the company. Unitemized gifts, state races, and corporate PACs are omitted. LobbyVault does not certify current employment.

Occupation pages show titles next to GOOGLE. Alumni who still type the brand remain in the string. Open the GOOGLE donor table for names and committees. The employer text is self-reported FEC text, not a NAICS internet-publishing sector, from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Alumni who still type GOOGLE remain in the 2,736. The FEC field is not an HR export. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS internet-publishing table. Alphabet-family recodes fail if they start and stop on GOOGLE. The $28.1M total is 2,736 donors and 74,729 lines with this brand spelling. YouTube, Waymo, Google LLC, and Alphabet are other strings when typed. MICROSOFT is a sibling employer row, not a combined sector. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER still hold staff who omitted the company. Antitrust captions are not attached to the industry headline. Alumni who still type GOOGLE remain among the 2,736. Occupation pages show titles next to this employer. Unitemized gifts, state races, and corporate PACs are omitted. Cite $28.1M from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS internet-publishing total. Product-by-product recodes fail on GOOGLE because filers rarely type YouTube or Alphabet. $28.1M, 2,736 donors, and 74,729 lines are the consumer brand. MICROSOFT is the sibling employer row. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER still hold people who skipped the company name. Case captions are not attached to the headline. Alumni remain in the 2,736. Occupation pages show titles next to GOOGLE. FEC.gov via LobbyVault holds the brand string, not a NAICS internet total.

Questions

How much have GOOGLE-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $28.1M to the GOOGLE employer string, from 74,729 contributions and 2,736 donors. This is individual receipts, not Alphabet's PAC, and not a NAICS internet-sector total. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Is this Google or Alphabet corporate spending?

No. These are itemized individual contributions whose employer text is GOOGLE. Corporate treasury and committee PACs are other FEC categories. Alphabet as a typed string would be a different key if it appears. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Does this include all Google engineers?

No. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER are separate occupation strings. Staff who typed those words without GOOGLE are in other rows. MICROSOFT is a different employer key. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

How many unique donors listed GOOGLE?

The rollup counts 2,736 donors and 74,729 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
