BOEING

Contributors who listed BOEING on federal itemized receipts account for $14,415,064, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 178,494 contributions from 2,580 donors — a high receipt count relative to the dollar total. BOEING is a self-reported employer string, not a NAICS aircraft-manufacturing total, and not the company’s PAC or contract ledger. LOCKHEED MARTIN and NORTHROP GRUMMAN are sibling firm-name rows. The 2,580 unique donors and 178,494 lines describe the one-word firm cluster only; unitemized gifts stay outside the $14,415,064.

Key figures

  • BOEING as FEC employer text totals $14,415,064 from 2,580 donors.
  • 178,494 contribution lines sit under that firm string — a high receipt count relative to dollars.
  • LOCKHEED MARTIN and NORTHROP GRUMMAN are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.

A one-word firm name on Schedule A

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. BOEING is the one-word form as typed. The $14,415,064 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Boeing’s disclosed PAC spending, not USAspending obligations, and not a NAICS 3364 aerospace-product rollup.

People who typed THE BOEING COMPANY, a commercial-airplanes unit name, or ENGINEER without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into BOEING.

2,580 donors and 178,494 lines

2,580 unique donors produced 178,494 BOEING contribution lines totaling $14,415,064. That is on the order of 69 itemized receipts per donor — among the higher paperwork volumes in this dollar band, similar in shape to Honeywell and Northrop rows. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $14,415,064. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Questions

How much have BOEING-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $14,415,064 to the BOEING employer string, from 178,494 contributions and 2,580 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS aerospace total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Is this Boeing corporate political spending?
No. The $14,415,064 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to BOEING. Corporate treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. Contract obligations on USAspending are a different dataset. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Does this include Lockheed or Northrop employees?
No. LOCKHEED MARTIN and NORTHROP GRUMMAN are separate employer strings with their own pages. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text BOEING. Staff who typed only ENGINEER are in that occupation-style row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Why so many contributions from 2,580 donors?
The 178,494 lines include repeat gifts from the same 2,580 people — on the order of 69 itemized receipts per donor. Recurring itemized programs raise the line count. The FEC field is transactional, not a once-per-employee census. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
