IBM itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov totaled $793,247 in the 2012 election cycle, across 1,253 receipts from 471 donors. The same employer/industry grouping indexes $10,520,465 across all harvested cycles in this extract. 2012 accounts for 7.5% of that grouping total. A cycle slice is not the grouping, and the grouping is not a PAC.
Key figures
- IBM in 2012: $793,247 on 1,253 receipts from 471 donors.
- IBM all-cycle grouping in this extract: $10,520,465.
- 2012 is 7.5% of that grouping total — a year cut, not the parent.
- Employer labels are filer-entered. Cycle dollars are not federal awards.
Why IBM and 2012 share a page
This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping IBM and even-year election cycle 2012. $793,247 is the intersection. $10,520,465 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 1,253 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 471 donors. LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.
Open the IBM 2012 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the IBM 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 $793,247 when the sentence is about 2012. Quote $10,520,465 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 IBM
In 2012, receipts tagged IBM sum to $793,247 on 1,253 itemized lines from 471 donors. About $633 per receipt is $793,247 divided by 1,253. About $1,684 per harvested donor is $793,247 divided by 471. 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.
Four hundred seventy-one donors and 1,253 receipts produced $793,247 in 2012 — one of the wider employer slices in this harvest. IBM as typed can include current staff, retirees who still list the name, contractors, and spelling-consistent affiliates. It is not IBM’s corporate PAC and not worldwide headcount. The mean gift is dollars divided by lines, not a bonus statistic.
