MICROSOFT CORPORATION

Microsoft Corporation crossed with 2010

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Microsoft Corporation and 2010 — sum to $361,047. 504 itemized contributions and 85 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. This page joins the employer grouping Microsoft Corporation to cycle 2010; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the Microsoft Corporation hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 85 unique donors and 504 lines in 2010 sit under the stored string MICROSOFT CORPORATION. MICROSOFT, MICROSOFT CORP, MSFT, and MICROSOFT INC stay on their own keys if filers used them. DoD, GSA IT, or other software USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

4.0% of the Microsoft Corporation roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,998,472 ($9 million). The 2010 slice of $361,047 is about 4.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.0%, or $8,637,425. Treating 2010 as the Microsoft Corporation FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $361,047 when the sentence is about 2010. Quote $8,998,472 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Treat $8,998,472 as the denominator for the 4.0% 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 $8,998,472. 4.0% is $361,047 divided by $8,998,472. Rounding to $361,047 and $9 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

Questions

How much did Microsoft Corporation donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $361,047 in itemized individual contributions for the Microsoft Corporation grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 504 contributions and 85 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,998,472 all-cycle figure. Cite FEC.gov for the Microsoft Corporation × 2010 join.

What share of Microsoft Corporation FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,998,472. The 2010 cell of $361,047 is about 4.0% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.0% ($8,637,425) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Microsoft Corporation hub holds other cycles.

Is this Microsoft Corporation’s PAC or an official account?

No. $361,047 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Microsoft Corporation. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup. The key is not a Microsoft payroll, not a software NAICS total, and not a Microsoft PAC. Filings remain on FEC.gov.

Where is the overlay for the Microsoft Corporation 2010 join?

Open Microsoft Corporation 2010 for the cycle overlay, Microsoft Corporation for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
