How much have NORTHROP GRUMMAN-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $10,915,801 to the NORTHROP GRUMMAN employer string, from 199,294 contributions and 2,334 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS aerospace total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. 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 Northrop corporate political spending?

No. The $10,915,801 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to NORTHROP GRUMMAN. Corporate treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. Contract obligations on USAspending are a different dataset. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Does this include Lockheed or Boeing employees?

No. LOCKHEED MARTIN and BOEING are separate employer strings with their own pages. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text NORTHROP GRUMMAN. Staff who typed only ENGINEER are in that occupation-style row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Why are there 199,294 contributions from 2,334 donors?

Each itemized gift is a line. Repeat donations from the same 2,334 people produce the 199,294 receipt count — on the order of 85 lines per donor, the highest ratio in this set of contractor rows. Recurring itemized programs raise that ratio. The FEC field is transactional, not a once-per-employee census.

A prime-contractor name with extreme line volume

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. NORTHROP GRUMMAN is the two-word form as typed. The $10,915,801 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Northrop’s disclosed PAC spending, not USAspending obligations, and not a NAICS 3364 rollup.

People who typed NORTHROP without GRUMMAN, a sector legal name, or ENGINEER without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key.

2,334 donors and 199,294 lines

2,334 unique donors produced 199,294 NORTHROP GRUMMAN contribution lines totaling $10,915,801. That is on the order of 85 itemized receipts per donor — higher paperwork volume than BOEING’s 178,494 lines from 2,580 people or LOCKHEED MARTIN’s 117,499 lines from 3,202. The shape is consistent with many small, repeated itemized gifts. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Unitemized gifts never appear. The company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $10,915,801.

Defense-firm siblings

LOCKHEED MARTIN, BOEING, and HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL each have their own employer-name pages. Combining them with NORTHROP GRUMMAN would be a researcher-built primes recode. This page stays at $10,915,801 for NORTHROP GRUMMAN only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm. ENGINEER as an industry key still holds staff who omitted the company name. FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION is an agency string, not a contractor string.

Donor table without program inference

The NORTHROP GRUMMAN donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a program name, a Pentagon award ID, or a motive to that line. Former employees who still type the brand share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not a clearance roster.

Repeat names are expected among 199,294 lines from 2,334 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the firm string.

NORTHROP GRUMMAN’s 199,294 lines from 2,334 donors totaling $10,915,801 are the highest receipts-per-donor pattern among the primes in this set, not a reason to add LOCKHEED MARTIN, BOEING, and HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL into one NAICS aerospace total. ENGINEER still holds staff who skipped the firm. Unitemized gifts, USAspending obligations, and the company PAC stay out. Occupation pages show titles beside the two-word name. The donor table does not attach a Pentagon program ID. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, self-reported employer text.
