How much have U S GOVERNMENT-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,913,536 to the U S GOVERNMENT employer string, from 5,811 contributions and 307 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not agency official funds and not a NAICS public-administration total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this the same as FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

No. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is a separate grouped string with its own page. The $3.9M total is only receipts whose employer text grouped to U S GOVERNMENT, including the spaces. LobbyVault does not merge the two-word FEDERAL variant into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Does this include US Army staff?

Only if those receipts grouped to U S GOVERNMENT rather than the named-branch string. US ARMY is a separate key. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text U S GOVERNMENT. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed U S GOVERNMENT?

The rollup counts 307 donors and 5,811 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an OPM headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

U S GOVERNMENT money in federal elections

Filers who listed U S GOVERNMENT as employer or occupation on federal campaign reports account for $3.9M ($3,913,536) in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 5,811 contributions and 307 donors. The spaced U S spelling is generic government text as typed, not a NAICS public-administration code, not FEDERAL GOVERNMENT as two unbroken words, and not a U.S. Treasury account.

Key figures

Spaced U S, not FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Three hundred seven unique donors produced 5,811 contributions totaling $3,913,536. About 19 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $673 describe the arithmetic. Official agency funds are not the payor. These rows are the self-reported U S GOVERNMENT string plus itemized amounts.

Top employer matches U S GOVERNMENT. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, US GOVERNMENT without spaces, US ARMY, and US House of Representatives can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,913,536 unless they matched this exact spaced label. LobbyVault does not recode punctuation into one generic total.

Who can appear among 307 donors

Civil servants, contractors who wrote the spaced phrase, retirees who still use it, and spouses using the same shorthand can all land in the cluster. The FEC does not certify current federal payroll. Unique-donor count is matching text, not OPM headcount. Mean per donor is about $12,748 from $3,913,536 divided by 307 people.

Occupation fields such as analyst, attorney, or civil servant are a separate cut. Use occupation breakdowns for titles. This page stays on the U S GOVERNMENT industry key.

What 5,811 contributions omit

No agency split, no GS grade, and no cycle year sit on the industry headline. Recipients and dates are on FEC.gov and on the U S GOVERNMENT donor table. Unitemized gifts never appear in the $3.9M figure.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, US ARMY, and STATE OF MICHIGAN are other employer strings. This total is U S GOVERNMENT only. Combining generic and named-agency labels would invent a public-sector recode the FEC did not store.

Donor table without agency inference

The U S GOVERNMENT donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach an agency, a clearance, or a motive to that line. Retirees who still type the spaced phrase share the string with current personnel.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the spaced string. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
