MICROSOFT CORPORATION

Microsoft Corporation as stored text, 2014 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Microsoft Corporation and 2014 — sum to $502,085. 511 itemized contributions and 64 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. 2014 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Microsoft Corporation hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Microsoft Corporation is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 64 donors and 511 lines in 2014 matched that word. People who typed Microsoft without Corporation or a subsidiary name sit in other buckets. MICROSOFT, MICROSOFT CORP, and MSFT are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Microsoft Corporation as stored.

5.6% of the Microsoft Corporation roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,998,472. The 2014 slice of $502,085 is about 5.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.4%. Treating 2014 as the Microsoft Corporation FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $8,998,472 as the denominator for the 5.6% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $8,998,472. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

Questions

How much did Microsoft Corporation donors give in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $502,085 in itemized individual contributions for the Microsoft Corporation grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 511 contributions and 64 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $8,998,472 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of Microsoft Corporation FEC money is 2014?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,998,472. The 2014 cell of $502,085 is about 5.6% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.4% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Microsoft Corporation hub holds other cycles; the 2014 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current Microsoft Corporation employees or licensees?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Microsoft Corporation. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2014 only, totaling $502,085 from 64 donors on 511 contribution lines.

Where is the overlay for the Microsoft Corporation 2014 join?

Open Microsoft Corporation 2014 for the cycle overlay, Microsoft Corporation for the grouping hub, and the 2014 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.
