535 itemized gifts totaling $333,490 sit at the meeting of IBM and the 2014 cycle. 225 unique donors produced the cell. FEC.gov is the source. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $10,520,465, so this window is about 3.2% — three-letter technology employer text in a two-year tag, not an IBM PAC, an IT-services NAICS total, or International Business Machines spelled out as a sibling key.
Key figures
- $333,490 is the IBM × 2014 overlap.
- 225 unique donors; 535 itemized contributions; mean gift about $623.
- Lifetime grouping $10,520,465; 2014 share about 3.2%.
- The page is three-letter technology employer text, not an IBM PAC.
- Unitemized gifts, PACs, and federal awards sit outside this cell.
Two keys: IBM and 2014
The packet’s keys are literal: industry string IBM, cycle 2014. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $333,490, from 535 contributions and 225 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.
Treat the label as three-letter technology employer text. Self-reported employer and occupation fields are free text. Expanding the acronym into International Business Machines would point at a different key if filers typed the words out. MICROSOFT is a neighboring technology brand, not a share of this cell. Neighboring stored labels include I.B.M., INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES, IBM CORP, IBM CORPORATION, and MICROSOFT. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $333,490. This page does not merge those buckets.
$333,490 is smaller than $10,520,465 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2014 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point.
Where $10,186,975 still sits
After this 2014 cell of $333,490, $10,186,975 of the IBM grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 96.8% of $10,520,465. The 2014 page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.
Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2014 total is supplied, so no share of the election claim is possible. 3.2% is IBM-internal. Because 2014 is about 3.2% of $10,520,465, most stored IBM money sits outside this window ($10,186,975). The industry hub is the index for those other cycles. This page isolates 2014 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.
