MICROSOFT CORPORATION

Contributors who listed MICROSOFT CORPORATION on federal itemized receipts account for $8,998,472, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 14,937 contributions from 461 donors. This is the CORPORATION suffix as stored, not the shorter MICROSOFT key, not a NAICS software-publishing total, and not the company’s PAC. GOOGLE INC. and IBM are sibling tech-employer spellings. Packet facts for this page are $8,998,472, 14,937 contributions, and 461 donors, with top employer MICROSOFT CORPORATION. Unitemized gifts never appear in that total. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov individual receipts, not the shorter MICROSOFT hub and not NAICS software publishing. ENGINEER remains an occupation-style key for staff who omitted the company name.

Key figures

  • MICROSOFT CORPORATION as FEC employer text totals $8,998,472 from 461 donors.
  • 14,937 contribution lines sit under that CORPORATION spelling.
  • The shorter MICROSOFT string is a separate FEC key.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS software sector or company PAC.

CORPORATION as typed, not the one-word brand

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. MICROSOFT CORPORATION is the form committees stored when filers typed the full legal suffix. The $8,998,472 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Microsoft’s disclosed PAC spending, not Azure or Office revenue, and not a NAICS 5112 software-publishing rollup.

The shorter MICROSOFT string is a different hub. People who typed MSFT, a subsidiary name, or ENGINEER without the company sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into MICROSOFT CORPORATION. Alumni who still type the CORPORATION form remain among the 461.

461 donors and 14,937 lines

461 unique donors produced 14,937 MICROSOFT CORPORATION contribution lines totaling $8,998,472. That is on the order of 32 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count is smaller than the one-word MICROSOFT row; this legal-suffix cluster is a distinct stored string. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $8,998,472 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 14,937 lines are expected.

Questions

How much have MICROSOFT CORPORATION-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $8,998,472 to the MICROSOFT CORPORATION employer string, from 14,937 contributions and 461 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS software-publishing total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.
Is this the same as the MICROSOFT page?
No. MICROSOFT is a shorter employer string with a separate hub. The $8,998,472 total is only receipts whose grouped text is MICROSOFT CORPORATION. LobbyVault does not merge the two spellings. Figures here are limited to this FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Does this include Google or IBM employees?
No. GOOGLE INC. and IBM are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text MICROSOFT CORPORATION. Staff who typed only ENGINEER sit in that occupation-style row instead. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
How many unique donors listed MICROSOFT CORPORATION?
The rollup counts 461 donors and 14,937 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 32 itemized receipts per donor. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.
