KAISER PERMANENTE
Contributors who listed KAISER PERMANENTE on federal itemized receipts account for $6,058,245, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 54,653 contributions from 1,321 donors. KAISER PERMANENTE is a health-system name as typed, not a NAICS hospital total, not Kaiser’s PAC, and not MEDICAL DOCTOR, PHYSICIAN, or PHARMACIST typed as titles. UCLA and UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN are campus keys that may include medical-center staff who typed those schools instead.
Key figures
- KAISER PERMANENTE as FEC employer text totals $6,058,245 from 1,321 donors.
- 54,653 contribution lines sit under that health-system string.
- MEDICAL DOCTOR, PHARMACIST, and UCLA are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or system PAC total.
A prepaid-system brand, not a generic hospital code
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. KAISER PERMANENTE is the brand as stored on individual receipts. The $6,058,245 total is those itemized gifts. It is not membership counts, not hospital operating revenue, and not a NAICS rollup of all health systems.
People who typed KAISER, KAISER FOUNDATION, KP, a regional Kaiser entity, or MEDICAL DOCTOR without the system sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key.
Clinicians and administrative staff share KAISER PERMANENTE when they type the brand. The 54,653 lines do not split those roles. Occupation pages show titles beside the system.
1,321 donors and 54,653 lines
1,321 unique donors produced 54,653 KAISER PERMANENTE contribution lines totaling $6,058,245. That is on the order of 41 itemized receipts per donor — payroll-style volume with a smaller typical line than partnership rows. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a clinician-versus-administrative split.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the system’s committee PAC filings are outside the $6,058,245 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.
1,321 unique donors is not a regional-membership census. Physicians who typed MEDICAL DOCTOR instead never enter these 1,321 people on those receipts.

Questions
- How much have KAISER PERMANENTE-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $6,058,245 to the KAISER PERMANENTE employer string, from 54,653 contributions and 1,321 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the system’s PAC and not a NAICS hospital 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 Kaiser corporate political spending?
- No. The $6,058,245 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to KAISER PERMANENTE. 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 everyone who typed MEDICAL DOCTOR or UCLA?
- No. MEDICAL DOCTOR and UCLA are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text KAISER PERMANENTE. Clinicians who listed a title or a campus are in those other rows. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed KAISER PERMANENTE?
- The rollup counts 1,321 donors and 54,653 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the health system. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
