What program manager donors give in federal races
Contributors who typed PROGRAM MANAGER as occupation posted $8,496,696 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s FEC.gov bulk index. Those dollars sit on 73,562 contributions from 1,991 donor records. PROGRAM MANAGER is a high-repeat workplace title with many small itemizations, not PROJECT MANAGER and not MANAGER. In compact millions the occupation total is $8.5 million.
Key figures

73,562 lines explain the $8.5 million
$8,496,696 is the occupation-level dollar total. 73,562 is the itemization count. 1,991 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $116. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,268. Repeat giving is about 37 itemizations per donor record.
73,562 lines from 1,991 records is a high-repeat pattern: the contribution count, not a large per-check mean, is what builds $8.5 million. About $116 per line is among the smaller means in this harvest band.
These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet has no employer field, no program-domain cut, and no gift-size distribution.
PROGRAM MANAGER is not PROJECT MANAGER
PROJECT MANAGER, MANAGER, OFFICE MANAGER, and GENERAL MANAGER — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to PROGRAM MANAGER. This page cites only $8,496,696, 73,562 contributions, and 1,991 donors.
The FEC does not verify PMP credentials, federal-program titles, or job descriptions. IT program managers, nonprofit program managers, and people who used the title loosely can all appear. Occupation is per transaction.
Donor-record count is not a headcount
1,991 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Address variants split records. Extra words (senior program manager, IT program manager) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to PROGRAM MANAGER.
A person who listed PROGRAM MANAGER on some gifts and PROJECT MANAGER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines. LobbyVault does not infer party from the workplace title.
Employer industries sit on a different table
$8,496,696 is not a consulting-firm PAC sum and not a federal-contractor industry total. Industry pages group employers. A program manager at a software firm and a program manager at a health nonprofit share this occupation string if they typed PROGRAM MANAGER.

How to quote the three facts
Cite $8,496,696, 73,562 contributions, and 1,991 donors together. A sentence that shows only the dollars hides that the money arrived in 73,562 pieces on a mean line of about $116.
Unitemized receipts are omitted. Harvested facts have no cycle year. Live filters may change displayed sums. Source: Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.
Workplace-title volume on a small mean line
PROGRAM MANAGER in this extract is $8,496,696 on 73,562 itemizations from 1,991 donor records. About 37 itemizations per donor record is a high repeat rate. Mean line size is about $116; mean dollars per donor record are about $4,268. PROJECT MANAGER and MANAGER remain other hubs. Compact millions ($8.5 million) are the same headline amount as $8,496,696, rounded to one decimal place.
Industry pages will not equal $8,496,696. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals PROGRAM MANAGER, dollars equal $8,496,696, contributions equal 73,562, donors equal 1,991. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.
73,562 itemizations is the number that explains how $8.5 million accumulated on a mean line of about $116. PMP credentials are not verified. Construction, software, and agency adjectives create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to PROGRAM MANAGER. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules.
Do not treat about 37 itemizations per donor record as a typical giving cadence for all program managers. It is an arithmetic ratio on this exact string. Quote the exact string, then $8,496,696, 73,562 contributions, and 1,991 donors, and stop.
1,991 donor records on 73,562 lines is a high-repeat workplace-title pool, not a headcount of people who manage programs. Compact millions ($8.5 million) should not be compared with PROJECT MANAGER dollars unless each source total is named. Harvested facts have no cycle year. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only.
IT, nonprofit, and agency program managers share this title only when the typed string is PROGRAM MANAGER. Senior or IT adjectives create parallel buckets when they do not normalize here. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. A sentence that shows only $8.5 million hides that the money arrived in 73,562 pieces.
