NEA

Joining the NEA string to 2014

NEA is three letters on an employer line. Filers use it for more than one real-world organization, and the aggregate does not split those homonyms. This page still has a precise job: show the dollars, gift count, and donor count where that string (and its grouped variants) meets the 2014 federal cycle. The meeting point is $1,996,698.

Twenty-two contributions from ten donors is a small-N cell. Average gift size is about $90,759; average per donor is about $199,670. Those ratios flag large itemized receipts, not a mass of small checks. They also flag how little the acronym tells you about who actually gave.

The 2014 cycle is a midterm window (2013–2014). The NEA industry hub is every cycle stacked. This tie is only the overlap.

A large lifetime total, a modest 2014 share

$42,454,178 is the grouping’s all-cycle individual total. $1,996,698 in 2014 is about 4.7% of that stack. Most of the NEA bucket therefore lives in other two-year windows. A researcher who treats 2014 as “the NEA year” would be reading a cell as if it were a hub.

Lifetime size can come from many cycles with many donors, or from a few cycles with very large gifts. This page only certifies the 2014 arithmetic. The industry hub is the place to see whether other years dwarf this one.

Questions

How much did the NEA grouping give in the 2014 FEC cycle?

Itemized individual contributions grouped to NEA totaled $1,996,698 in the 2014 cycle, from 22 contributions and 10 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the industry-cycle join, not PAC receipts and not the $42,454,178 all-cycle grouping total.

Does NEA here mean the National Education Association?

Not necessarily. The bucket is the employer/industry string NEA as it appears on individual contribution records. Multiple organizations share those letters. The aggregate does not disambiguate them. Treat the label as a filing string, then use the overlay to inspect receipts.

Why is 2014 only about 4.7% of NEA’s FEC total?

Because $1,996,698 divided by the grouping lifetime of $42,454,178 is about 4.7%. Other cycles hold the rest. A midterm cell can be small relative to a large multi-cycle bucket even when the raw dollars still look large on their own.

Do these gifts pay for federal grants or contracts?

No. This page uses FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal spending is a separate public dataset. The join does not claim that 2014 campaign receipts funded USAspending awards. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
