A campus legal name on individual receipts

Faculty, staff, medical-center employees, and others type STANFORD UNIVERSITY in the employer box. LobbyVault ranks that grouped text. The $15,350,461 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Stanford’s operating budget, not tuition revenue, and not a NAICS 6113 rollup of all higher-education employers.

People who typed STANFORD HOSPITAL, a lab acronym, STUDENT, or PROFESSOR without the university name sit in other rows. Alumni who list a later private employer are not in these 1,273 donors unless a receipt still carried STANFORD UNIVERSITY.

1,273 donors and 40,360 lines

1,273 unique donors produced 40,360 STANFORD UNIVERSITY contribution lines totaling $15,350,461. That is on the order of 32 itemized receipts per donor. Recurring itemized gifts can produce that ratio. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a split among faculty, staff, and medical-center payrolls.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and any separate university-related committee filings are outside the $15,350,461. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Harvard and generic campus titles

HARVARD UNIVERSITY is a separate employer-name key in the same dollar neighborhood, with its own donor and line counts. STUDENT, PROFESSOR, and PHYSICIAN are occupation-style or status rows that may include Stanford-affiliated people who never typed the school. Combining those keys is a researcher recode. This page stays at $15,350,461 for STANFORD UNIVERSITY.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the campus name. MD and DOCTOR remain other industry keys when those abbreviations were placed in the employer box.

Donor table

The STANFORD UNIVERSITY donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a research grant, a federal contract, or a motive to that line. Former employees who still type the school share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR or registrar file.

Repeat names are expected among 40,360 lines from 1,273 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the campus string.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY’s 40,360 lines from 1,273 donors totaling $15,350,461 sit beside HARVARD UNIVERSITY’s 35,728 lines from 1,116 donors as sibling campus keys, not a combined higher-education NAICS total. STUDENT, PROFESSOR, PHYSICIAN, and MD still capture affiliates who never typed the school. Unitemized gifts and campus PAC documents stay out. Alumni who still type STANFORD UNIVERSITY remain in the 1,273. Occupation pages show titles beside the campus. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not endowment value and not NAICS 6113.
