INTEL money in federal elections
Contributors who listed INTEL on federal itemized receipts account for $5,632,299, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 14,244 contributions from 472 donors. INTEL is a one-word employer brand as typed, not a NAICS semiconductor total, not Intel’s PAC, and not every legal variant such as INTEL CORPORATION or INTEL CORP. Unitemized gifts stay outside the $5,632,299.
Key figures
- INTEL as FEC employer text totals $5,632,299 from 472 donors.
- 14,244 contribution lines sit under that one-word chipmaker brand.
- INTEL CORPORATION and similar legal names are other keys if stored separately.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.
One-word chipmaker brand on the receipt
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. INTEL is the four-letter form as stored. The $5,632,299 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not fabrication-plant headcount, not foundry-contract dollars, and not a NAICS rollup of all semiconductor employers. People who typed INTEL CORP, INTEL CORPORATION, or a business-unit name such as INTEL FOUNDATION sit in other rows if stored that way.
The FEC field is not a badge export from a fab or a design center. Former employees who still type INTEL share the key with current staff. LobbyVault does not recode subsidiary or country-suffix spellings into this brand. Occupation pages show titles stored beside INTEL rather than adding them to the $5,632,299.
472 donors and 14,244 receipts
472 unique donors produced 14,244 INTEL contribution lines totaling $5,632,299. That is on the order of 30 itemized receipts per donor. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a split among process engineers, sales, and corporate payrolls. Repeat names among 14,244 lines from 472 people are expected.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $5,632,299 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.
Sibling tech-employer keys stay separate
Other chip and electronics employer strings — if donors typed them — are other keys on the industry index. Combining INTEL with those rows would be a researcher-built semiconductor recode. This page stays at $5,632,299 for INTEL only.
ENGINEER, SOFTWARE ENGINEER, and similar title words still hold staff who omitted the company name. Occupation breakdowns are the place to inspect those titles. State filings are omitted from the federal total.
Donor table for the INTEL string
The INTEL donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a CHIPS-act grant, a foundry site, or a motive to that line. The 472 unique-person count is not an employee census from the company.
Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the chipmaker string. People who typed a longer legal name are not in these 472 unless a receipt also carried INTEL as grouped.

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $5,632,299, 14,244 contributions, 472 donors, top employer INTEL. The ranking uses FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Compare other industry keys on the industry index. Use occupation pages for titles stored next to this employer.
Keep INTEL’s $5,632,299, 14,244 contributions, and 472 donors on this one-word brand. Longer legal names, unitemized gifts, and committee PAC documents stay on their own records. The donor table lists disclosed recipients without converting the string into a semiconductor NAICS total.
Itemized chipmaker receipts versus the company PAC
The $5,632,299 figure is the sum of itemized individual gifts grouped to INTEL. Unitemized gifts never appear. Committee PAC filings for the company are other FEC documents. A person who listed INTEL CORPORATION or a business-unit name is counted here only if the grouped key is INTEL.
472 unique donors and 14,244 lines describe that one-word brand only. Occupation pages show engineer and related titles stored beside INTEL; those occupation keys also hold people who omitted the company. The industry index is the place to compare other tech-employer strings without folding them into this total.
About 30 itemized receipts per donor is 14,244 divided by 472. Repeat payroll-style gifts explain the line count. The packet does not split design, fab, or sales payrolls. Follow the donor table for disclosed names and committees. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to INTEL. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
Keep INTEL’s 472 donors and 14,244 lines on the one-word brand. INTEL CORPORATION, if stored separately, is another key. The donor table lists disclosed recipients for the $5,632,299 only.
Questions
- How much have INTEL-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $5,632,299 to the INTEL employer string, from 14,244 contributions and 472 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS semiconductor total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this Intel corporate political spending?
- No. The $5,632,299 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to INTEL. Corporate treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. LobbyVault does not fold those documents into this industry row. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Does this include Intel Corporation or Intel Corp spellings?
- Only if the grouped employer text is INTEL. Longer legal names are separate keys if stored that way. A receipt counted here carries the one-word brand. Staff who typed ENGINEER without the company sit in occupation-style rows instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed INTEL?
- The rollup counts 472 donors and 14,244 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
