Donors listing Harvard University reported $451,036 in itemized individual contributions during the 2014 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 539 contributions from 172 donors. The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $12,178,102; the 2014 slice is about 3.7% of that running sum. The key is filer-entered employer text — not a Harvard payroll, not an endowment report, and not a university PAC.

Key figures

  • Harvard University × 2014 is $451,036 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 539 contributions from 172 donors.
  • 2014 is about 3.7% of the grouping’s $12,178,102 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a Harvard payroll, not an endowment report, and not a university PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Harvard University crossed with 2014

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Harvard University and 2014 — sum to $451,036. 539 itemized contributions and 172 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 2014; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the Harvard University hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 172 unique donors and 539 lines in 2014 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.

3.7% of the Harvard University roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $12,178,102 ($12.2 million). The 2014 slice of $451,036 is about 3.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.3%, or $11,727,066. Treating 2014 as the Harvard University FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $451,036 when the sentence is about 2014. 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 3.7% 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 2014 from being folded silently into $12,178,102. 3.7% is $451,036 divided by $12,178,102. Rounding to $451,036 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.

Questions

How much did Harvard University donors give in 2014?
FEC.gov aggregates show $451,036 in itemized individual contributions for the Harvard University grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 539 contributions and 172 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $12,178,102 all-cycle figure. Cite FEC.gov for the Harvard University × 2014 join.
What share of Harvard University FEC money is 2014?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $12,178,102. The 2014 cell of $451,036 is about 3.7% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.3% ($11,727,066) 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. $451,036 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.
Where is the overlay for the Harvard University 2014 join?
Open Harvard University 2014 for the cycle overlay, Harvard University for the grouping hub, and the 2014 election cycle for the year without this filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
