Top Employer
Contributors who listed GOOGLE on federal itemized receipts account for $28.1M, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 74,729 contributions from 2,736 donors. GOOGLE is a self-reported employer string, not a NAICS internet-publishing total, and it is not Alphabet's PAC or corporate treasury. MICROSOFT is a sibling tech-employer row (the MICROSOFT total on that page). Staff who typed Alphabet, YouTube, or ENGINEER without the Google name sit in other keys.
Key figures
- GOOGLE as FEC employer text totals $28.1M.
- 2,736 donors produced 74,729 contribution lines.
- MICROSOFT, ENGINEER, and Alphabet-as-typed are separate keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or PAC total.
A consumer brand in the employer field
Filers often type GOOGLE rather than Alphabet Inc. The $28.1M total is that brand string as stored. It is not a complete corporate family, and it is not the company's own political spending.
NAICS 519 is not applied. ENGINEER, DEVELOPER, and CONSULTANT remain occupation rows that may include Google staff who omitted the company name.
2,736 donors, 74,729 lines, $28.1M
2,736 donors produced 74,729 GOOGLE contribution lines totaling $28.1M. Unique-donor count and dollars sit near the MICROSOFT employer row, still as a separate string. Receipt intensity is high but lower than the MICROSOFT row.
Party share is not on the industry headline. PAC and independent-expenditure activity is not inside $28.1M.

Questions
- How much have GOOGLE-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $28.1M to the GOOGLE employer string, from 74,729 contributions and 2,736 donors. This is individual receipts, not Alphabet's PAC, and not a NAICS internet-sector total. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Is this Google or Alphabet corporate spending?
- No. These are itemized individual contributions whose employer text is GOOGLE. Corporate treasury and committee PACs are other FEC categories. Alphabet as a typed string would be a different key if it appears. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Does this include all Google engineers?
- No. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER are separate occupation strings. Staff who typed those words without GOOGLE are in other rows. MICROSOFT is a different employer key. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- How many unique donors listed GOOGLE?
- The rollup counts 2,736 donors and 74,729 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
