Donors listing Bank of America reported $1,083,613 in itemized individual contributions during the 2012 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 805 contributions from 371 donors. The figure is a slice of the Bank of America employer grouping, not a bank PAC and not a successor-label merge with Merrill Lynch. This page joins Bank of America to 2012 so the two tables can be read as an overlap rather than as a ranking of retail banks. Three hundred seventy-one donors listing Bank of America are not Merrill Lynch’s 2014 cell; successor corporate history is not a license to add employer keys.
Key figures
- Bank of America × 2012 is $1,083,613 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 805 contributions from 371 donors.
- 2012 is about 9.4% of the grouping’s $11,582,158 all-cycle total.
- This key is not a merge with Merrill Lynch.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Bank of America crossed with 2012
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Bank of America and 2012 — sum to $1,083,613. The total is not an official company disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $11,582,158. The 2012 slice is about 9.4% of that running sum. A presidential-year cell that is roughly one-tenth of the key’s history is a real intersection. It is not a substitute for the unfiltered Bank of America hub, and it is not a license to add Merrill Lynch’s 2014 cell onto this page.
Why successor labels stay on separate keys
Filers type employer text. Bank of America collects strings that match this name. People who listed Merrill Lynch, a wealth-management division, or a truncated “BofA” may land on neighboring keys. This join does not merge those neighbors even when a reader knows the corporate history.
371 donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of a national bank’s payroll. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace can appear. The Commission does not certify employment.
Treat $11,582,158 as the denominator for the 9.4% share. It is not a market capitalization and not proof of a multi-year corporate program. Neighboring finance keys keep their own denominators.

Questions
- How much did Bank of America donors give in 2012?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $1,083,613 in itemized individual contributions for the Bank of America grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 805 contributions and 371 donors. That sum is not a bank PAC total.
- Does this include Merrill Lynch donors?
- No. This page is the Bank of America employer key only. Merrill Lynch is a different grouping with its own cycle cells. Combining them would invent a total neither packet publishes as a join.
- What share of Bank of America FEC money is 2012?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $11,582,158. The 2012 cell of $1,083,613 is about 9.4% of that figure. Other cycles are not listed here.
- Where is the overlay for this join?
- Open Bank of America 2012 for the cycle overlay, Bank of America for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.
