How much did Architect-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Architect grouping’s 2014 cell is $1,824,150 in itemized individual contributions, from 667 contributions and 193 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a professional-association PAC and not the $28,735,315 all-cycle total.

Does this include only licensed architects?

No. The bucket is the self-reported occupation string Architect. The FEC does not verify licenses. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2014 only. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

What share of Architect FEC money fell in 2014?

About 6.3%. $1,824,150 divided by the grouping lifetime of $28,735,315 is the 2014 cell’s share. Other cycles hold the remaining dollars on the occupation hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Do these donations fund federal construction contracts?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

$1,824,150 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the occupation grouping Architect. FEC.gov aggregates count 667 contributions from 193 donors. The same string totals $28,735,315 across every cycle in this table, so the midterm cell is about 6.3% of the lifetime bucket — a professional title meeting a two-year window, not an AIA membership roll.

Key figures

$1,824,150 joins the Architect occupation grouping to the 2014 FEC cycle.
667 contributions from 193 donors produced that cell.
2014 is about 6.3% of the grouping’s $28,735,315 lifetime total.
The title is self-reported; the join is not a license roster or a spending award.

Architect as occupation, 2014 as cycle

This page exists because two keys match. One is the grouped occupation string Architect. The other is the 2014 federal election cycle. The match is $1,824,150. Six hundred sixty-seven itemized gifts and 193 unique donors produced it. Neither the occupation hub nor the cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys.

Average contribution is about $2,735; average per donor is about $9,452. Those ratios describe a professional-title cell with repeated itemized giving, not a single-donor pile and not a mass of minimum itemized checks.

Filers also write landscape architect, naval architect, or a firm name. Those strings are other buckets if the pipeline stored them separately.

The occupation’s all-cycle total

$28,735,315 is every cycle combined for Architect in this table. $1,824,150 in 2014 is about 6.3% of that stack. Other windows hold a little less than 94%. Treating 2014 as the occupation’s FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Lifetime scale here is a multi-cycle occupation word, not a census of licensed architects. The FEC does not check licenses.
