How much have AFLAC-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,600,616 to the AFLAC employer string, from 12,748 contributions and 351 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS insurance-carriers total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is AFLAC INC included in this total?

Only if those receipts grouped to the short AFLAC key. AFLAC INC and AMERICAN FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE are separate grouped keys if filers used them. The $3.6M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to AFLAC. LobbyVault does not merge legal-suffix variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Does this include the company’s PAC?

Not unless an individual receipt itself lists AFLAC. Committee PAC filings sit outside the $3,600,616 individual rollup. This page reports itemized contributor disclosures, not independent expenditures. Unitemized gifts are omitted. The $3.6M figure is the individual employer-string total only. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed AFLAC?

The rollup counts 351 donors and 12,748 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee or agent headcount from the company. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

AFLAC

Contributors who listed AFLAC on federal itemized receipts account for $3.6M ($3,600,616), according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 12,748 contributions from 351 donors. AFLAC is the four-letter insurer brand as typed, not a NAICS insurance-carriers total, not Aflac’s PAC, and not AFLAC INC or AMERICAN FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE as longer legal strings.

Key figures

AFLAC as FEC employer text totals $3.6M ($3,600,616) from 351 donors.
12,748 contribution lines sit under that four-letter brand string.
AFLAC INC and AMERICAN FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE are separate FEC keys.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.

Four-letter brand, not an insurance-sector recode

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. AFLAC is the brand as committees stored it on individual receipts. The $3,600,616 total is those itemized gifts. It is not premium volume, not a supplemental-health-product total, and not a NAICS direct-life-and-health-insurance category covering every carrier.

People who typed AFLAC INC, AFLAC INCORPORATED, AMERICAN FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, or INSURANCE AGENT without the brand sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not collapse those spellings into this key. Researchers who want a combined Aflac family must recode after export. Top employer matches AFLAC.

351 donors and 12,748 lines

351 unique donors produced 12,748 AFLAC contribution lines totaling $3,600,616. That is on the order of 36 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $282. Mean per donor is about $10,258. The packet does not publish an agent-versus-home-office split or a cycle year.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $3,600,616 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.
