441 donors and a $4,791,790 sum

Four hundred forty-one unique people produced 21,979 contributions totaling $4,791,790. Mean gift size is about $218. The high row-to-person ratio is familiar on campus employer strings where recurring itemized gifts stack. It is not proof of a university political program. Each row is a contributor disclosure with EMORY UNIVERSITY in the employer or occupation field.

Emory Healthcare, a school name inside the university, or a hospital brand can appear as other industry keys. This page does not fold those strings into $4,791,790. Top employer matches EMORY UNIVERSITY, so the bucket is that campus phrasing.

Atlanta campus text on a federal form

FEC individual files store employer as open text. Faculty, staff, students, and medical-center personnel who typed EMORY UNIVERSITY share this slug. The Commission does not certify employment. Alumni who still write the school can remain in the 441.

Occupation pages cut by title (physician, professor, student). This industry page cuts by employer string only. Use both if the question spans title and campus.

How many unique Emory-labeled donors are there?
