HARVARD UNIVERSITY

A university legal name on individual receipts

Faculty, staff, hospital affiliates, and others type HARVARD UNIVERSITY in the employer box. LobbyVault ranks that grouped text. The $12,178,102 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Harvard’s operating budget, not tuition, and not a NAICS 6113 rollup of all colleges.

People who typed HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, a hospital affiliate, STUDENT, or PROFESSOR without the university name sit in other rows. Alumni who list a later private employer are not in these 1,116 donors unless a receipt still carried HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

1,116 donors and 35,728 lines

1,116 unique donors produced 35,728 HARVARD UNIVERSITY contribution lines totaling $12,178,102. That is on the order of 32 itemized receipts per donor — similar repeat intensity to the STANFORD UNIVERSITY row’s 40,360 lines from 1,273 people. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a split among faculty, staff, and medical payrolls.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Unitemized gifts never appear. Independent expenditures and any separate university-related committee filings are outside the $12,178,102.
