UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA as FEC employer text: $10.1 million

A multi-campus system name on Schedule A

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Faculty, staff, medical-center affiliates, and others type UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA rather than UCLA, Berkeley, or a medical-center legal name. The $10,056,583 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not UC’s operating budget, not tuition, and not a NAICS 6113 rollup of all colleges.

People who typed UCLA, UC BERKELEY, UC SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, TEACHER, or PROFESSOR without the system name sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those campus spellings into this key. Alumni who list a later private employer are not in these 979 donors unless a receipt still carried UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.

979 donors and 60,591 lines

979 unique donors produced 60,591 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA contribution lines totaling $10,056,583. That is on the order of 62 itemized receipts per donor — among the higher paperwork volumes in this dollar band. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and campus PAC filings are outside the $10,056,583 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 60,591 lines are expected.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA and other campuses stay separate

STATE OF CALIFORNIA is a government-employer string for people who typed the state rather than the university. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, HARVARD UNIVERSITY, and STANFORD UNIVERSITY are other school-name keys. Combining them with UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA would invent a higher-education recode. This page stays at $10,056,583 for this system spelling only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the system — professor, physician, researcher, retired — as typed. TEACHER remains a generic-title row that may include K-12 staff who never named UC.

Donor table without research-grant inference

The UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach an NIH grant, a tuition policy, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a campus HR export.

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

UCLA, Berkeley, and STATE OF CALIFORNIA stay out

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA as a system name is not UCLA, UC BERKELEY, UC SAN FRANCISCO, or STATE OF CALIFORNIA. Those spellings sit on other keys. The $10,056,583 total, 60,591 contribution lines, and 979 donors describe this system string only. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY and UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON remain sibling school-name rows. TEACHER is a generic-title row.

Unitemized gifts, state races, campus PACs, and endowment activity stay outside the $10,056,583. Occupation pages show titles beside the system. Alumni who still type UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA remain in the 979. The FEC field is not a campus HR export and not NAICS 6113. Repeat names among 60,591 lines are expected.

Researchers who want a UC-family recode must list UCLA, Berkeley, and other campus abbreviations as separate additions. STATE OF CALIFORNIA is government payroll, not this system name. The $10,056,583 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA as 979 donors and 60,591 lines. Follow recipient committees on the system donor table. Party share is not computed on the industry headline. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, self-reported employer text, not NAICS 6113, not the endowment, and not a campus PAC.
