Harvard University itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov totaled $920,317 in the 2012 election cycle, across 1,124 receipts from 358 donors. The same employer/industry grouping indexes $12,178,102 across all harvested cycles in this extract. 2012 accounts for 7.6% of that grouping total. A cycle slice is not the grouping, and the grouping is not a PAC.
Key figures
- Harvard University in 2012: $920,317 on 1,124 receipts from 358 donors.
- Harvard University all-cycle grouping in this extract: $12,178,102.
- 2012 is 7.6% of that grouping total — a year cut, not the parent.
- Employer labels are filer-entered. Cycle dollars are not federal awards.
Why Harvard University and 2012 share a page
This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Harvard University and even-year election cycle 2012. $920,317 is the intersection. $12,178,102 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 1,124 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 358 donors. LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.
Open the Harvard University 2012 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the Harvard University industry hub for the parent grouping, the 2012 election-cycle index for every industry in that year, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Quote $920,317 when the sentence is about 2012. 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.
The 2012 slice for Harvard University
In 2012, receipts tagged Harvard University sum to $920,317 on 1,124 itemized lines from 358 donors. About $819 per receipt is $920,317 divided by 1,124. About $2,571 per harvested donor is $920,317 divided by 358. FEC even-year cycles run January 1 of the odd year through December 31 of the even year; 2012 names that two-year window, not a single November night.
Three hundred fifty-eight donors and 1,124 receipts is a broad 2012 slice for a university employer string, not a payroll of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Students, staff, affiliates, and people who simply typed the name can sit in the same bucket. Do not treat $920,317 as Harvard’s institutional PAC, and do not treat 358 as unique living alumni.
