$328,122 is the published join of Intel and 2008: itemized individual contributions whose employer or occupation field grouped to INTEL in that even-year window. 387 contributions and 88 donors are the packet’s counts. Other cycles hold $5,304,177 (94.2%) of the $5,632,299 book.

Key figures

  • Intel Γ— 2008 is $328,122 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 387 contributions from 88 donors.
  • 2008 is about 5.8% of the grouping’s $5,632,299 all-cycle total.
  • The label is filer-entered form text (INTEL), not a PAC disbursement and not a NAICS total.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

$328,122 as a two-field overlap

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both β€” Intel (INTEL) and 2008 β€” sum to $328,122. 387 itemized contributions and 88 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.

Neither the Intel hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. INTEL is the one-word stored string. INTEL CORP, INTEL CORPORATION, and INTEL INC are other keys. The page is not Intel PAC disbursements and not a semiconductor NAICS total. Eighty-eight unique donors are not a headcount of chip-plant employees. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $328,122. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.

Other cycles hold $5,304,177

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,632,299 ($5.6 million). The 2008 slice of $328,122 is about 5.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.2% ($5,304,177). Treating 2008 as the Intel FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $5,632,299 as the denominator for the 5.8% 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 2008 from being folded silently into $5,632,299.

Questions

What did FEC.gov record for Intel in 2008?
FEC.gov aggregates show $328,122 in itemized individual contributions for the Intel grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 387 contributions and 88 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $5,632,299 all-cycle figure. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
What is left after the 2008 Intel cell?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,632,299. The 2008 cell of $328,122 is about 5.8% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.2% ($5,304,177) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Intel hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Is $328,122 an official Intel organization gift?
No. $328,122 is itemized individual contributions whose employer or occupation field grouped to Intel (INTEL) in the 2008 cycle. It is not committee disbursements, not independent expenditures, and not a verified employee census. 387 contributions came from 88 donors. Do not invent those names from the grouping label.
Where are other FEC two-dimension pages?
Open Intel 2008 for the cycle overlay, Intel for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.
