FEC.gov records $297,995 for the string FACEBOOK inside the 2014 election cycle. That cell is 97 itemized contributions and 39 unique donors. Across all cycles the grouping stores $6,467,120, which means 2014 is about 4.6% of the running sum. This page is a join: Facebook on one axis, 2014 on the other — not a Facebook PAC, META as a later sibling string, or a social-media NAICS rollup.
Key figures
- FACEBOOK in 2014 totals $297,995 on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts.
- 97 contributions and 39 unique donors produced the cell.
- About 4.6% of $6,467,120 stored for this string sits in 2014 ($6,169,125 remains).
- Facebook is technology employer text as stored in 2014, not NAICS and not a donor list.
- Do not treat campaign gifts as USAspending awards.
Why Facebook and 2014 share a page
Facebook pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2014 pages without this string mix every employer and occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $297,995 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged FACEBOOK in 2014. 97 contributions and 39 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.
The stored employer label is technology employer text as stored in 2014. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. 2014 predates later Meta branding on many forms. META and FACEBOOK INC are other keys. This cell is the stored employer FACEBOOK. Neighboring stored labels include FACEBOOK INC, META, META PLATFORMS, FB, and INSTAGRAM. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $297,995. A Facebook PAC, META as a later sibling string, or a social-media NAICS rollup would be a different dataset or a different string.
Keep $6,467,120 on the industry hub and keep the 2014 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $297,995.
2014 as a slice of $6,467,120
$6,467,120 is the all-cycle total stored for FACEBOOK. Subtract $297,995 and $6,169,125 remains in other cycles (95.4%). 2014 therefore accounts for about 4.6% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.
Do not read 4.6% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2014 campaign. It is $297,995 divided by $6,467,120. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 4.6% ratio is $297,995 divided by $6,467,120. Other even-year joins for FACEBOOK are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $6,169,125. Citing 2014 as if it were the Facebook lifetime total would overstate this cell by $6,169,125.
