N/A/Home Manager money in federal elections

Filers who entered N/A/Home Manager as employer or occupation on federal campaign reports account for $4,318,201 in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. The cluster is unusual: 3,688 contributions from 1,238 donors—only about 3 gifts per person, with a mean gift near $1,171. That is the opposite of high-frequency payroll strings. The slash-joined phrase is a form convention, not a NAICS household-sector code.

Key figures

  • N/A/Home Manager FEC strings sum to $4,318,201.
  • Only 3,688 contributions came from 1,238 donors.
  • About $1,171 per gift and $3,488 per donor on a simple mean.
  • Self/Homemaker and AT HOME are separate keys.
  • The label is FEC free text, not NAICS.

Many people, few rows, $4,318,201

One thousand two hundred thirty-eight unique donors is a wide roster relative to 3,688 contributions. $4,318,201 ÷ 3,688 ≈ $1,171 per gift; $4,318,201 ÷ 1,238 ≈ $3,488 per donor. Larger typical itemized amounts and fewer repeat rows produce that shape. The packet does not list the median or the largest check.

Top employer is N/A/Home Manager, matching the industry label. N/A often appears when a treasurer fills a required employer box without a wage employer. Home Manager is adjacent in meaning to homemaker strings, but Self/Homemaker and AT HOME are different keys with their own totals. Do not add them to $4,318,201.

Three homemaker-like strings stay separate

FEC free text keeps N/A/Home Manager, Self/Homemaker, and AT HOME apart when ingest treats them as different keys. Overlap among people who used more than one phrase across years is unknown. Combining the three would invent a household total none of the packets authorizes.

Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Occupation breakdowns may list homemaker and related titles under the occupation index.

What 3,688 contributions omit

No household income, no spouse employer (unless written in), no party, no cycle year. Recipients are on FEC.gov and on the N/A/Home Manager donor table.

Unique-donor count (1,238) is matching text, not a census of home managers.

Questions

How much have N/A/Home Manager filers given federally?
The N/A/Home Manager industry cluster totals $4,318,201 in itemized FEC contributions, from 3,688 contributions and 1,238 donors. The label is the text on the form. Self/Homemaker and AT HOME are separate slugs and are not included in this sum. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
Why are there more donors than on many other pages but fewer contributions?
LobbyVault counts 1,238 unique donors and only 3,688 contributions, about three gifts per person. Mean gift size is about $1,171. That pattern is fewer repeat rows and larger itemized amounts than high-frequency payroll clusters. The packet does not explain why filers used this phrase.
Does N/A mean the employer is missing?
N/A/Home Manager is the literal stored string. Treasurers sometimes write N/A in a required employer box. LobbyVault does not recode it. The cluster still sums to $4,318,201 from 1,238 donors who used that combined phrase. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
Is this NAICS for households?
No. FEC individual files do not include NAICS. LobbyVault groups employer/occupation self-reports. N/A/Home Manager is the typed phrase. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
