FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION
Contributors who listed FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION on federal itemized receipts account for $16,039,031, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 150,125 contributions from 3,290 donors. FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION is a self-reported employer string — an agency name as typed — not a NAICS air-transportation total, not the FAA’s appropriated budget, and not the agency’s own PAC (federal agencies do not operate candidate PACs the way private firms do).
Key figures
- FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION as FEC employer text totals $16,039,031.
- 3,290 donors produced 150,125 contribution lines.
- BOEING, LOCKHEED MARTIN, and the letters FAA are separate stored strings if typed that way.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or an agency budget.
An agency name on individual schedules
Civilian federal employees often put the agency in the employer box. LobbyVault ranks that text like any other grouped string. The $16,039,031 total is itemized individual gifts whose employer grouping is FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION. It is not FAA procurement, not Airport Improvement Program grants, and not a NAICS 481 or 488 rollup of airlines and support services.
People who typed FAA, DOT, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, or CONTROLLER / PILOT without the agency name sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode abbreviations into the spelled-out agency key.
3,290 donors and 150,125 lines
3,290 unique donors produced 150,125 FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION contribution lines totaling $16,039,031. That is on the order of 46 itemized receipts per donor — high paperwork volume relative to dollars, a shape consistent with many small, repeated itemized gifts. The packet does not publish a mean ticket as its own FEC field.
Hatch Act questions about federal-employee political activity are legal issues this page does not adjudicate. The public record still stores the itemized receipts. Party share is not on the industry headline.

Questions
- How much have FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $16,039,031 to the FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION employer string, from 150,125 contributions and 3,290 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the agency’s budget and not a NAICS air-transport 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 FAA corporate or agency political spending?
- No. The $16,039,031 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION. It is not appropriated agency spending and not a company PAC. LobbyVault does not fold procurement or grant files into this industry row. 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 Boeing or Lockheed employees?
- No. BOEING and LOCKHEED MARTIN are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped agency name FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION. People who typed only FAA or ENGINEER are in those other rows if stored that way. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Why are there 150,125 contributions from 3,290 donors?
- Each itemized gift is a line. Repeat donations from the same 3,290 people produce the 150,125 receipt count — on the order of 46 lines per donor. Recurring itemized programs raise that ratio. The FEC field is transactional, not an agency headcount.
