Contributions

Unique Donors

MIT in 2014 is $274,843 in itemized individual contributions. FEC.gov counts 355 contributions from 74 donors against the stored string MIT. Other cycles hold $6,982,970 (96.2%) of the $7,257,813 lifetime total. The relationship is university employer text crossed with a two-year cycle, not a campus PAC, Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a longer sibling string, or a university treasury.

Key figures

  • MIT and 2014 together: $274,843.
  • Counts: 355 contributions, 74 donors.
  • Share of stored MIT money: about 3.8% of $7,257,813.
  • Not a PAC total and not a NAICS industry rollup.
  • Live overlay and FEC.gov override this snapshot if they differ.

Reading $274,843 as an intersection

$274,843 is the amount that survives both filters. The employer filter is MIT (MIT). The cycle filter is 2014. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 355 lines, and the 74 donors.

Because the grouping is university employer text, the cell is a text match. Household members, retirees, and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.

Use the industry hub when the question is every cycle for MIT. Use the 2014 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.

The $7,257,813 denominator

Divide $274,843 by $7,257,813 and the result is about 3.8%. The complementary share is 96.2%, or $6,982,970 outside 2014. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$7,257,813 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched MIT in any cycle in this table. The denominator $7,257,813 is every cycle stored for MIT, not revenue and not assets. $274,843 over $7,257,813 is about 3.8%. The leftover $6,982,970 is other even-year windows on the MIT hub.
