How much did Harvard University donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $354,914 in itemized individual contributions for the Harvard University grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 439 contributions and 166 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $12,178,102 all-cycle figure. Cite FEC.gov for the Harvard University × 2010 join.

What share of Harvard University FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $12,178,102. The 2010 cell of $354,914 is about 2.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 97.1% ($11,823,188) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Harvard University hub holds other cycles.

Is this Harvard University’s PAC or an official account?

No. $354,914 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Harvard University. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup. The key is not a Harvard payroll, not an endowment report, and not a university PAC. Filings remain on FEC.gov.

Harvard University crossed with 2010

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Harvard University and 2010 — sum to $354,914. 439 itemized contributions and 166 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. This page joins the employer grouping Harvard University to cycle 2010; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the Harvard University hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 166 unique donors and 439 lines in 2010 sit under the stored string HARVARD UNIVERSITY. HARVARD, HARVARD COLLEGE, HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, and HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL stay on their own keys if filers used them. NIH, NSF, or other university-research USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

2.9% of the Harvard University roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $12,178,102 ($12.2 million). The 2010 slice of $354,914 is about 2.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 97.1%, or $11,823,188. Treating 2010 as the Harvard University FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $354,914 when the sentence is about 2010. Quote $12,178,102 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Treat $12,178,102 as the denominator for the 2.9% 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 $12,178,102. 2.9% is $354,914 divided by $12,178,102. Rounding to $354,914 and $12.2 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.
