Key figures
- Kaiser Permanente × 2008 is $378,164 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 583 contributions from 287 donors.
- 2008 is about 6.2% of the grouping’s $6,058,245 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a health-care NAICS total and not a Kaiser PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Kaiser Permanente crossed with 2008
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Kaiser Permanente and 2008 — sum to $378,164. The cell holds 583 itemized contributions and 287 unique donors. 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 Kaiser Permanente hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Two hundred eighty-seven donors produced 583 Kaiser Permanente lines in 2008 — a broad health-system employer cell. Physicians, staff, and others who typed a regional medical-group suffix may sit next door. This join does not merge those suffixes. KAISER, KAISER FOUNDATION, KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITAL, and KAISER PERMANENTE MEDICAL GROUP are other keys if stored separately.
6.2% of the Kaiser Permanente roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6,058,245 ($6.1 million). The 2008 slice of $378,164 is about 6.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.8%. Treating 2008 as the Kaiser Permanente FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $6,058,245 as the denominator for the 6.2% 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 $6,058,245.

Questions
- How much did Kaiser Permanente donors give in 2008?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $378,164 in itemized individual contributions for the Kaiser Permanente grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 583 contributions and 287 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $6,058,245 all-cycle figure.
- What share of Kaiser Permanente FEC money is 2008?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $6,058,245. The 2008 cell of $378,164 is about 6.2% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.8% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Kaiser Permanente hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Is this Kaiser Permanente’s PAC or an official account?
- No. $378,164 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Kaiser Permanente. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a health-care NAICS total and not a Kaiser PAC.
- Where is the overlay for the Kaiser Permanente 2008 join?
- Open Kaiser Permanente 2008 for the cycle overlay, Kaiser Permanente 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.
