2010 Election Cycle

Total Donated

Contributions

Unique Donors

FEC.gov records $202,126 at the intersection of MIT and the 2010 election cycle. The Commission’s individual-contribution aggregates list 296 itemized gifts and 85 unique donors for that pair of keys. Across all cycles the stored string MIT sums to $7,257,813, which means this window is about 2.8% of the running total. The page is a join, not an MIT PAC, not MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY as a full spelling, and not federal research awards to the campus.

Key figures

  • MIT × 2010 is $202,126 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 296 contributions from 85 donors.
  • 2010 is about 2.8% of the grouping’s $7,257,813 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text (university employer abbreviation as stored), not a PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Why MIT and 2010 share one cell

This page is the product of two keys, not a restatement of one hub. Filter individual receipts to MIT and to cycle 2010 and the Commission’s aggregates return $202,126. 296 contributions and 85 donors sit inside that cell. Recipients are not named here. PAC disbursements and independent expenditures are other tables. FEC.gov is the source.

Open Mit and the year filter comes off. Open 2010 election cycle and the employer filter comes off. Only the overlay Mit 2010 keeps both. MIT is university employer abbreviation as stored. MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, M.I.T., and MIT LINCOLN LAB are other keys. A neighboring spelling is a different join even if a searcher thinks the words are synonyms.

$7,257,813 is the lifetime total for this stored string. Folding 2010 into that figure, or stretching $202,126 across every cycle, mixes two different questions. The cell answers only the paired question. 2010 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

2010 as a slice of $7,257,813

2.8% is $202,126 divided by $7,257,813. That arithmetic uses only packet facts. The leftover 97.2% equals $7,055,687 and lives on other cycle pages for MIT. A mid-single-digit share (or any other share this packet happens to show) is not a peak-year claim.

$7,257,813 is a sum of itemized individual receipts grouped to MIT across cycles in this table. It is not assets, payroll, or a federal award total. Sharing a calendar year with USAspending records does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Keep the 2.8% attached to MIT and 2010 together.

Questions

How much did MIT donors give in 2010?
FEC.gov aggregates show $202,126 in itemized individual contributions for the MIT grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 296 contributions and 85 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $7,257,813 all-cycle figure. Independent expenditures are not included.
What share of MIT FEC money is 2010?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $7,257,813. The 2010 cell of $202,126 is about 2.8% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 97.2% ($7,055,687) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.
Does this include only currently employed MIT staff?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string MIT. The FEC does not verify licenses, current jobs, or corporate identity. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $202,126 from 85 donors across 296 contributions.
Where is the overlay for the MIT 2010 join?
Open Mit 2010 for the cycle overlay, Mit for the grouping hub, and 2010 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. Cite FEC.gov for $202,126, 296 contributions, and 85 donors.
