$3,281,349 in itemized individual contributions is the 2010-cycle join for the occupation grouping Investor. FEC.gov aggregates count 2,772 contributions from 831 donors. The same string totals $89,862,902 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 3.7% of the lifetime bucket β€” a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not an investors PAC and not a securities NAICS total.

Key figures

  • Investor Γ— 2010 is $3,281,349 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 2,772 contributions from 831 donors.
  • 2010 is about 3.7% of the grouping’s $89,862,902 all-cycle total.
  • The label is filer-entered form text, not an investors PAC and not a securities NAICS total.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Investor as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both β€” Investor and 2010 β€” sum to $3,281,349. 2,772 itemized contributions and 831 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 Investor hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Investor is a self-reported title, not an SEC registered-adviser census and not a hedge-fund roster. 831 donors and 2,772 lines in 2010 matched that word. INVESTMENTS, INVESTMENT BANKER, PRIVATE INVESTOR, and named funds sit in other keys. This page is the stored string INVESTOR.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Investor 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Investor 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $3,281,349, 2,772 contributions, 831 donors, and 3.7% of $89,862,902.

3.7% of the Investor roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $89,862,902. The 2010 slice of $3,281,349 is about 3.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.3% ($86,581,553). Treating 2010 as the Investor FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $89,862,902 as the denominator for the 3.7% 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 2010 from being folded silently into $89,862,902.

A 3.7% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Investor hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Investor to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

Questions

How much did Investor donors give in 2010?
FEC.gov aggregates show $3,281,349 in itemized individual contributions for the Investor grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 2,772 contributions and 831 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $89,862,902 all-cycle figure.
What share of Investor FEC money is 2010?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $89,862,902. The 2010 cell of $3,281,349 is about 3.7% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.3% ($86,581,553) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Investor hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Does this include only licensed or currently employed Investor donors?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string INVESTOR. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $3,281,349 from 831 donors.
Where is the overlay for the Investor 2010 join?
Open Investor 2010 for the cycle overlay, Investor for the grouping hub, and the 2010 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.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle.
