MCKINSEY & COMPANY
FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault assign $6,855,677 to the employer string MCKINSEY & COMPANY. The cluster is 8,337 contributions from 343 donors. That partnership name is not a NAICS management-consulting total, not McKinsey’s PAC, and not every consultant in the file. CONSULTANT and MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT-style title rows remain separate keys when donors typed the function instead of the firm.
Key figures
- MCKINSEY & COMPANY as FEC employer text totals $6,855,677 from 343 donors.
- 8,337 contribution lines sit under that partnership string.
- CONSULTANT is a separate FEC employer key.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or firm PAC total.
A consulting partnership on Schedule A
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. MCKINSEY & COMPANY is the firm as stored on individual receipts, including the ampersand. The $6,855,677 total is those itemized gifts. It is not McKinsey’s billings, not a public-sector contract pipeline, and not a NAICS rollup of all consultancies.
People who typed MCKINSEY without COMPANY, MCKINSEY & CO, CONSULTANT, or a competing firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key.
Alumni networks keep typing MCKINSEY & COMPANY years after they leave. The 343 unique donors therefore mix current and former staff. The FEC field is not a current partnership list.
343 donors and 8,337 lines
343 unique donors produced 8,337 MCKINSEY & COMPANY contribution lines totaling $6,855,677. That is on the order of 24 itemized receipts per donor. SULLIVAN & CROMWELL remains a separate law-firm key. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a partner-versus-associate split.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $6,855,677 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.
8,337 lines totaling $6,855,677 is a small-line-count pattern next to carrier payroll rows. The packet does not publish a mean gift. Do not invent one from these three facts beyond receipts per donor.

Questions
- How much have MCKINSEY & COMPANY-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $6,855,677 to the MCKINSEY & COMPANY employer string, from 8,337 contributions and 343 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the firm’s PAC and not a NAICS consulting 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 McKinsey corporate political spending?
- No. The $6,855,677 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to MCKINSEY & COMPANY. Partnership 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 CONSULTANT?
- No. CONSULTANT is a separate employer string. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text MCKINSEY & COMPANY. Staff at other firms who typed only the function are in that title row. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed MCKINSEY & COMPANY?
- The rollup counts 343 donors and 8,337 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the firm. 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.
