MICROSOFT as FEC employer text: $30.0M

A payroll name in the industry ranking

The industry table mixes titles (ATTORNEY) with company names (MICROSOFT). The $30.0M figure is itemized individual gifts whose grouped employer text is MICROSOFT. It is not Microsoft's disclosed corporate or PAC spending, and it is not a count of all current employees.

NAICS 5112 is not applied. People who typed ENGINEER, DEVELOPER, or SELF-EMPLOYED without the company name are in other rows.

3,187 donors, 106,786 lines, $30.0M

3,187 donors produced 106,786 MICROSOFT contribution lines totaling $30.0M. Receipts per unique donor run high compared with GOLDMAN SACHS's a separate line count lines on a separate donor count donors. Online itemized programs can generate that shape. This page does not invent a mean gift.

Party share is not on the industry headline. PAC and independent-expenditure activity is not inside $30.0M.

GOOGLE and generic tech titles

GOOGLE is a separate employer-name row (the GOOGLE total on that page). ENGINEER, DEVELOPER, and CONSULTANT are occupation strings that may include Microsoft staff who did not type the company. Those dollars are not in this total.

Occupation pages show job titles next to MICROSOFT. Subsidiaries or 'MSFT' abbreviations, if stored differently, would be other keys. Subsidiary names, Xbox-era brands, and MSFT ticker spellings are other keys if donors typed them. The $30.0M total is 3,187 donors and 106,786 lines tagged MICROSOFT. That receipt count is high relative to dollars, a filing-pattern fact, not a mean gift this page will invent.

Donor table

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

Former employees who still type MICROSOFT share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR file. GOOGLE is a sibling employer key. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER still hold staff who omitted the company. A combined tech recode must list those keys. This page stays at $30.0M for MICROSOFT only.

Source

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $30.0M, 106,786 contributions, 3,187 donors, top employer MICROSOFT. Unitemized and non-federal activity are omitted.

Follow recipient committees from the table. Cloud-contract and antitrust files are not FEC individual receipts. Recipient committees on the donor table are the disclosed destinations. LobbyVault does not attach a procurement ID to the $30.0M figure.

Subsidiaries, alumni, and occupation-only engineers

MICROSOFT as typed is not every Microsoft subsidiary or acronym. The $30.0M total, 106,786 contribution lines, and 3,187 donors omit GOOGLE, ENGINEER, DEVELOPER, and people who typed a subsidiary name differently. Unitemized gifts, state races, and the company PAC are omitted. LobbyVault does not certify current employment from the brand string.

High receipt count relative to dollars often reflects many itemized gifts rather than a few huge ones; this page still does not publish a mean, because the packet does not. Occupation pages show titles next to MICROSOFT. Open the donor table for names and committees. The employer text is self-reported FEC text, not NAICS 5112, from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Alumni who still type MICROSOFT remain in the 3,187. The FEC field is not an HR export. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS 5112 and not the company PAC. Subsidiary and ticker spellings siphon people out of MICROSOFT. What remains is $30.0M, 3,187 donors, and 106,786 lines — a high receipt count relative to dollars, which this page still refuses to turn into an unpublished mean. GOOGLE is a sibling employer row, with its own total. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER hold staff who omitted the company. Cloud-contract IDs are not attached to the headline. Alumni who still type MICROSOFT remain among the 3,187. Occupation pages show titles next to this employer. Unitemized gifts, state races, and the company PAC are omitted. Cite $30.0M from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS 5112. Ticker and subsidiary spellings leak people out of MICROSOFT. What remains is $30.0M, 3,187 donors, 106,786 lines. Receipts per donor run high; this page still will not publish a mean the packet omitted. GOOGLE is the GOOGLE total as a sibling employer. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER hold staff who skipped the brand. Alumni remain. Occupation pages show titles next to MICROSOFT. Company PAC filings are other documents. FEC.gov via LobbyVault stores the brand, not NAICS 5112.
