What SOCIAL WORKER donors give in federal races

Extreme line count, small mean gift

$16,549,179 is the occupation-level dollar total. 159,789 is the itemization count. 3,156 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $104. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,244. Repeat giving is about 51 itemizations per donor record.

159,789 lines from 3,156 records is among the higher repeat rates in this harvest band. The per-line mean of about $104 is why the contribution count — not a handful of large checks — explains how $16.5 million accumulated.

These means are not typical-check estimates and not a measure of social-work salaries allocated to politics. The packet has no license field and no gift-size distribution.

SOCIAL WORKER is not therapist and not counselor

PSYCHOTHERAPIST, PSYCHOLOGIST, COUNSELOR, and THERAPIST — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to SOCIAL WORKER. This page cites only $16,549,179, 159,789 contributions, and 3,156 donors.

The FEC does not verify LCSW or LMSW credentials. Case managers, school social workers, and people who typed the generic noun can all appear. Occupation is the donor’s word on that line.

What the dollars do not measure

$16,549,179 is not a human-services PAC total and not a nonprofit-sector census. Industry pages group employers. A social worker at a county agency and a social worker at a hospital share this occupation string if they typed SOCIAL WORKER.

Party is not stored in the occupation column. Open the SOCIAL WORKER occupation page for recipient rows. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $16.5 million.

Using the hub

Cite $16,549,179, 159,789 contributions, and 3,156 donors together. A sentence that shows only the dollars hides that the money arrived in 159,789 pieces. Use the occupations index to compare SOCIAL WORKER with neighboring clinical titles without merging them.

Unitemized receipts are omitted. Harvested facts have no cycle year. Live filters may change displayed sums. Source: Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Limits

3,156 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Extra words (clinical social worker, retired social worker) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to SOCIAL WORKER.

Do not treat about 51 itemizations per donor record as a typical giving cadence for all social workers. It is an arithmetic ratio on this exact string.
