$1,991,118 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the grouping Morgan Stanley. FEC.gov aggregates count 1,340 contributions from 669 donors. The same string totals $18,776,463 across every cycle in this table, so the 2008 cell is about 10.60% of the lifetime bucket. Morgan Stanley is the two-word employer brand as stored. Desk assignment and Series registrations are unpublished. The key is not a securities-sector NAICS total and not the firm’s PAC.
Key figures
- Morgan Stanley × 2008: $1,991,118 in itemized individual contributions.
- 1,340 contributions from 669 donors; about $1,485.91 per gift and $2,976.26 per donor.
- 2008 is about 10.60% of the grouping’s $18,776,463 all-cycle total.
- MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY, MS, and shorter MORGAN spellings remain other keys if filers used them.
- Itemized individual receipts only — not PAC disbursements and not USAspending awards.
Morgan Stanley employer string × 2008
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Morgan Stanley and 2008 — sum to $1,991,118. The cell holds 1,340 itemized contributions and 669 unique donors. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
Neither the Morgan Stanley hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Morgan Stanley is the two-word employer brand as stored. Desk assignment and Series registrations are unpublished. MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY, MS, and shorter MORGAN spellings remain other keys if filers used them. Open Morgan Stanley 2008 for the overlay rows, Morgan Stanley for other cycles, and the 2008 election cycle for other employer strings.
Dividing $1,991,118 by 1,340 contributions yields about $1,485.91 per itemized gift. Dividing by 669 donors yields about $2,976.26 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.0. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical salary.
A larger 2008 share of the Morgan Stanley book
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $18,776,463. The 2008 slice of $1,991,118 is about 10.60% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 89.40%. Treating 2008 as the entire Morgan Stanley FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $18,776,463 as the denominator for the 10.60% 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 2008 from being folded silently into $18,776,463.

- FEC.gov aggregates show $1,991,118 in itemized individual contributions for the Morgan Stanley grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 1,340 contributions and 669 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $18,776,463 all-cycle figure.
- What share of Morgan Stanley FEC money is 2008?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $18,776,463. The 2008 cell of $1,991,118 is about 10.60% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 89.40% on the industry hub. Do not treat 2008 as the whole Morgan Stanley story.
- Is this Morgan Stanley’s PAC?
- No. $1,991,118 dollars are itemized individual receipts tagged to the employer string Morgan Stanley. Committee PAC activity is a different FEC family. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Morgan Stanley hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Where is the overlay for the Morgan Stanley 2008 join?
- Open Morgan Stanley 2008 for the cycle overlay, Morgan Stanley for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON names the join; the overlay holds the rows.
