Federal contributions from ZIP 02140

The $17,019,329 attached to 02140

Seventeen million nineteen thousand three hundred twenty-nine dollars is the sum of disclosed receipts that carried 02140 in the contributor ZIP field. Federal committees nationwide can appear as recipients. Massachusetts state and city races are generally outside this FEC extract unless a federal committee is involved.

Unitemized gifts never enter the $17,019,329 total. Itemized payroll deductions, earmarks, and large one-time gifts all do, if the reported ZIP was 02140. The number is a reporting aggregate. It is not a statement about university politics, and this packet contains no employer table to quote.

North Cambridge searchers should also remember that 02140 is not the only Cambridge ZIP, and this page does not compare it to others with extra numbers. The $17,019,329 and 76,354 figures are this code’s disclosed pair. Neighboring codes have their own hubs. Crossing those numbers here would invent facts the packet does not contain.

76,354 contributions as a dense receipt file

The extract counts 76,354 contributions for 02140. That is a high row volume at this dollar scale, closer to other dense academic-adjacent codes than to thin high-dollar ZIPs. High row volume usually means many separate itemizations—repeat givers, small disclosed gifts, and cycle-over-cycle repeats—without proving that pattern until the table is opened.

Seventy-six thousand rows is not a unique-donor census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent how many individuals live behind 02140. One person can occupy dozens of lines across committees and two-year periods.

Payroll-style repeats are common in dense academic-adjacent files. They make 76,354 look like a crowd when it may be fewer people giving often. Because this packet has no distinct-donor total, the only honest statement is the row count. The ZIP 02140 FEC page is where repeat names become visible without guessing a unique-person figure.

How FEC stores the 02140 ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP, including the leading zero in 02140. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. A campus office, a law firm, or a political committee that mails from North Cambridge will share the bucket with apartment and house addresses in the same code.

Keep the $17,019,329 figure labeled as ZIP-tagged FEC disclosure. If a row is a PAC, the committee name on the 02140 hub will say so. If it is an individual, the name fields on that receipt are the next public facts.

Preserve 02140 as a five-character string in every spreadsheet export. Integer ZIP columns are a frequent way this code disappears from an analysis. LobbyVault’s overlay path keeps the leading zero. Matching that string to FEC bulk files requires the same care.

Using the 02140 hub and directories

The ZIP 02140 FEC page holds the itemizations behind $17,019,329 and 76,354 contributions. Preserve the leading zero when searching; some tools drop it and miss the code. The all-ZIP index places 02140 among other five-digit totals. The donor directory is the name search across the FEC file.

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov. It does not add dollars that the Commission did not disclose.

What this 02140 guide will not add

No unique-donor count, no party share, no cycle chart, and no per-resident ratio appear here. Those would require packet facts that are not present. The supported record is $17,019,329, 76,354 contributions, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.

Leading-zero ZIP hygiene and a dense Cambridge file

ZIP 02140 must keep its leading zero. Dropping it in a search can miss the North Cambridge code entirely and send a researcher to the wrong five-digit field. The FEC stored 02140 on the receipts that sum to $17,019,329. LobbyVault indexes that string. Tools that coerce ZIP to a number will break the lookup. Treat the code as text.

Seventy-six thousand three hundred fifty-four contributions is a dense campus-adjacent file. Dense files repay a two-step read: largest lines first for PAC and joint-fundraising presence, then a sample of smaller rows for repeat individual itemizations. Unitemized gifts are absent from $17,019,329. Employer fields, if present, are what the committee reported, not a university census. This packet has no distinct-donor total.

Massachusetts state and Cambridge municipal filings are outside this extract. Quote the two packet facts, open the ZIP 02140 FEC page, and use the all-ZIP index and donor directory as needed. FEC.gov remains the originating disclosure system. No party share or cycle series is claimed here because none is in the packet.

Questions

How much did ZIP 02140 contribute in FEC itemized totals?

Itemizations listing 02140 total $17,019,329 across 76,354 contributions. Keep the leading zero; it is part of the five-digit contributor ZIP on FEC receipts. The figures are disclosure aggregates, not a unique-person count of North Cambridge. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $17,019,329 and 76,354 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 02140 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.

Does 76,354 contributions mean 76,354 donors?

No. The number counts itemized rows. Repeat gifts and earmarks add rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not publish how many unique people gave from 02140. Names appear on the ZIP hub. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 76,354 remains a receipt count for ZIP 02140 even after the hub is open.

Can PAC money be inside the 02140 total?

Yes. FEC records the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses using 02140 can sit in the $17,019,329 sum with residential receipts. Read committee names on the ZIP 02140 FEC page. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 02140 lines before treating $17,019,329 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.

Where are 02140 receipts listed?

On the ZIP 02140 FEC page. Compare other codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $17,019,329 and 76,354 contributions tagged to ZIP 02140.
