Key figures
- Designer × 2010 is $278,500 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 127 contributions from 51 donors.
- 2010 is about 3.3% of the grouping’s $8,482,309 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a design-studio NAICS total and not a designers PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Designer crossed with 2010
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Designer and 2010 — sum to $278,500. 127 itemized contributions and 51 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. DESIGNER is a one-word occupation-style grouping. The 2010 filter does not split fashion, graphic, interior, or industrial work. It only keeps receipts whose grouped field matches this string in that cycle.
Neither the Designer hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Designer hub is the year index for this string. GRAPHIC DESIGNER, FASHION DESIGNER, and INTERIOR DESIGNER stay on their own keys if filers used them. Federal design or arts awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.
3.3% of the Designer roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8.5 million ($8,482,309). The 2010 slice of $278,500 is about 3.3% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.7%. Treating 2010 as the Designer FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $8,482,309 as the denominator for the 3.3% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $8,482,309.

Questions
- How much did Designer donors give in 2010?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $278,500 in itemized individual contributions for the Designer grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 127 contributions and 51 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,482,309 all-cycle figure. Filings remain on FEC.gov. Quote packet facts only.
- What share of Designer FEC money is 2010?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,482,309. The 2010 cell of $278,500 is about 3.3% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.7% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Designer hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Is this Designer’s PAC or an official account?
- No. $278,500 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Designer. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a design-studio NAICS total and not a designers PAC.
- Where is the overlay for the Designer 2010 join?
- Open Designer 2010 for the cycle overlay, Designer for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. Original filings remain on FEC.gov.
