1,500 itemized individual contributions from 280 donors sum to $537,906 for Ford Motor Company in the 2012 cycle on FEC.gov. That cell is the join of the employer string FORD MOTOR COMPANY and the two-year 2012 window. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,741,013 (9.4% in this window). The page explains the relationship between those two dimensions; it is not a Ford PAC, a corporate treasury gift, or an auto-manufacturing NAICS total.

Two keys: FORD MOTOR COMPANY and 2012
Drop either key and the number changes. Drop 2012 and the Ford Motor Company hub shows $5,741,013. Drop Ford Motor Company and the 2012 hub shows every other stored employer for that window — a total this packet does not publish. Keep both keys and the extract returns $537,906 on 1,500 lines from 280 donors. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection; do not treat either hub as a substitute for the join.
1,500 itemized lines from 280 donors is a high-volume cell for one employer string. It is still not an employee census. Exact string matching is the method. FORD, FORD MOTOR, FORD MOTOR CO, and named Ford affiliates are not rolled into $537,906. LobbyVault does not recode filer text into NAICS. Cite FEC.gov.
Section 1 states the relationship. Later sections unpack the lifetime grouping, the receipt arithmetic, the two-year window, and the caveats. The overlay Ford Motor Company 2012 is the row view of this cell.
Lifetime Ford Motor Company dollars versus the 2012 slice
$5,741,013 minus $537,906 leaves $5,203,107 in other cycles, or 90.6% of the stored book. 9.4% is the 2012 share. A share is a quotient, not a trend claim. This packet has no prior-cycle dollar for comparison, so no percent change is stated. Other even-year amounts are not invented here.
$5,741,013 is not revenue, not assets, and not a political budget. It is the sum of itemized individual contributions that grouped to FORD MOTOR COMPANY in this table. The Ford Motor Company hub is the place to see other years. This tie exists so 2012 is not swallowed by that lifetime figure.

- Does Ford Motor Company include FORD?
- Not in $537,906. Only FORD MOTOR COMPANY is in this cell. FORD, FORD MOTOR, FORD MOTOR CO, and named Ford affiliates are other keys unless they grouped to this exact string. LobbyVault does not merge them into a sector total on this page. Exact-match grouping is the method.
