COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

A private-university legal name on Schedule A

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Faculty, staff, hospital affiliates, and others type COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY in the employer box. The $8,849,740 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Columbia’s operating budget, not tuition, and not a NAICS 6113 rollup of all colleges.

People who typed COLUMBIA PRESBYTERIAN, BARNARD, TEACHERS COLLEGE, STUDENT, or PROFESSOR without the university name sit in other rows. Alumni who list a later private employer are not in these 1,089 donors unless a receipt still carried COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

1,089 donors and 40,160 lines

1,089 unique donors produced 40,160 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY contribution lines totaling $8,849,740. That is on the order of 37 itemized receipts per donor. Line volume sits between UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON and UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA in paperwork shape, still as a separate stored string. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and campus PAC filings are outside the $8,849,740 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 40,160 lines are expected.
