INTEL CORPORATION

Contributors who listed INTEL CORPORATION on federal itemized receipts account for $5,678,657, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 29,401 contributions from 601 donors. INTEL CORPORATION is a manufacturer name as typed, not a NAICS semiconductor total, not Intel’s PAC, and not the campus acronym MIT. FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, AMAZON, and MICROSOFT are sibling technology-employer rows. GENERAL ATOMICS is a different contractor key.

Key figures

  • INTEL CORPORATION as FEC employer text totals $5,678,657 from 601 donors.
  • 29,401 contribution lines sit under that manufacturer string.
  • MIT, FACEBOOK, and MICROSOFT are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.

Chip-maker legal name, not the three-letter campus

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. INTEL CORPORATION includes CORPORATION as stored. The $5,678,657 total is those itemized gifts. It is not wafer starts, not a foundry-contract figure, and not a NAICS rollup of all semiconductor employers.

People who typed INTEL without CORPORATION, INTEL CORP, a subsidiary, MIT, or ENGINEER without the company sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key. MIT remains a campus acronym.

Fab, design, and sales staff share INTEL CORPORATION when they type the legal name. INTEL without CORPORATION, if stored, is another key. MIT remains a campus acronym.

601 donors and 29,401 lines

601 unique donors produced 29,401 INTEL CORPORATION contribution lines totaling $5,678,657. That is on the order of 49 itemized receipts per donor. FACEBOOK remains a separate technology-employer key. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a fab-versus-design split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $5,678,657 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

601 unique donors produced 29,401 lines totaling $5,678,657. Repeat itemized gifts explain the ratio. The packet does not publish a fab share of those 601 people.

Questions

How much have INTEL CORPORATION-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $5,678,657 to the INTEL CORPORATION employer string, from 29,401 contributions and 601 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS semiconductor total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Is this Intel corporate political spending?
No. The $5,678,657 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to INTEL CORPORATION. Corporate treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. LobbyVault does not fold those documents into this industry row. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Does this include MIT, Facebook, or Microsoft employees?
No. MIT, FACEBOOK, and MICROSOFT are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text INTEL CORPORATION. Staff who typed only ENGINEER are in that title row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
How many unique donors listed INTEL CORPORATION?
The rollup counts 601 donors and 29,401 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
