Key figures
- Google × 2010 is $264,241 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 216 contributions from 87 donors.
- 2010 is about 0.9% of the grouping’s $28,141,117 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a technology NAICS total and not a Google PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Google crossed with 2010
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Google and 2010 — sum to $264,241. 216 itemized contributions and 87 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. GOOGLE is grouped employer text. The 2010 filter keeps receipts in that cycle whose employer field collapsed to this key. It does not merge GOOGLE INC, later Alphabet labels, or job titles without this employer.
Neither the Google hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Google hub is the year index for this string. GOOGLE INC, ALPHABET, and SOFTWARE ENGINEER occupation titles stay on their own keys if stored separately. Federal tech awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.
0.9% of the Google roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $28.1 million ($28,141,117). The 2010 slice of $264,241 is about 0.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 99.1%. Treating 2010 as the Google FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $28,141,117 as the denominator for the 0.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $28,141,117.

Questions
- How much did Google donors give in 2010?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $264,241 in itemized individual contributions for the Google grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 216 contributions and 87 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $28,141,117 all-cycle figure. Filings remain on FEC.gov. Quote packet facts only.
- What share of Google FEC money is 2010?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $28,141,117. The 2010 cell of $264,241 is about 0.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 99.1% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Google hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Is this Google’s PAC or an official account?
- No. $264,241 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Google. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a technology NAICS total and not a Google PAC.
- Where is the overlay for the Google 2010 join?
- Open Google 2010 for the cycle overlay, Google for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. Original filings remain on FEC.gov.
