How much have HOME MAKER-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $9,387,787 to the HOME MAKER employer string, from 23,363 contributions and 851 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a PAC and not a Census household total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Is this the same as HOMEMAKER without a space?

No. HOMEMAKER is a one-word employer string with a separate hub. The $9,387,787 total is only receipts whose grouped text is HOME MAKER with a space. HOUSEWIFE and None/Homemaker are other keys. Figures here are limited to this FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Does this include people listed as retired or not employed?

Only if the receipt grouped to HOME MAKER. RETIRED and NOT EMPLOYED are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the spaced two-word text. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

How many unique donors listed HOME MAKER?

The rollup counts 851 donors and 23,363 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 27 itemized receipts per donor. This is not a Census headcount. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

HOME MAKER

Contributors who listed HOME MAKER on federal itemized receipts account for $9,387,787, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 23,363 contributions from 851 donors. HOME MAKER is the two-word spaced spelling as stored, not the one-word HOMEMAKER key, not a NAICS household total, and not a PAC. HOUSEWIFE and None/Homemaker are sibling household-label rows. Packet facts for this page are $9,387,787, 23,363 contributions, and 851 donors, with top employer HOME MAKER. Unitemized gifts never appear in that total. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov individual receipts, not the one-word HOMEMAKER hub and not a Census household table. HOUSEWIFE and None/Homemaker remain separate household-label keys on LobbyVault. RETIRED is another status string, not this spaced HOME MAKER spelling.

Key figures

HOME MAKER as FEC employer text totals $9,387,787 from 851 donors.
23,363 contribution lines sit under that spaced two-word spelling.
HOMEMAKER without a space is a separate FEC key.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS or Census household category.

A spaced spelling, not HOMEMAKER as one word

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. HOME MAKER is the form committees stored when filers (or treasurers) put a space between the words. The $9,387,787 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not a NAICS household-employment category, not household income, and not a party committee.

HOMEMAKER without a space is a different hub. HOUSEWIFE, HOUSE WIFE, HOME MANAGER, and None/Homemaker are other stored strings. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into HOME MAKER. The FEC field records what was typed, not a standardized Census status.

851 donors and 23,363 lines

851 unique donors produced 23,363 HOME MAKER contribution lines totaling $9,387,787. That is on the order of 27 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count sits between thinner investor rows and larger homemaker-one-word clusters in this ranking. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $9,387,787 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 23,363 lines are expected.
