Key figures
- Oracle Corporation × 2008 is $283,174 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 234 contributions from 63 donors.
- 2008 is about 7.4% of the grouping’s $3,812,408 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a software-publishing NAICS total and not an Oracle PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Oracle Corporation crossed with 2008
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Oracle Corporation and 2008 — sum to $283,174. The cell holds 234 itemized contributions and 63 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 Oracle Corporation hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Sixty-three donors and 234 Oracle Corporation lines in 2008 sit under the legal-suffix brand. A shorter ORACLE key is a neighbor if filers omitted Corporation. Federal software-license awards on USAspending are not these itemized gifts. ORACLE, ORACLE CORP, ORACLE AMERICA, and generic SOFTWARE occupation strings are other keys.
7.4% of the Oracle Corporation roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $3,812,408 ($3.8 million). The 2008 slice of $283,174 is about 7.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 92.6%. Treating 2008 as the Oracle Corporation FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $3,812,408 as the denominator for the 7.4% 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 $3,812,408.

Questions
- How much did Oracle Corporation donors give in 2008?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $283,174 in itemized individual contributions for the Oracle Corporation grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 234 contributions and 63 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $3,812,408 all-cycle figure.
- What share of Oracle Corporation FEC money is 2008?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $3,812,408. The 2008 cell of $283,174 is about 7.4% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 92.6% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Oracle Corporation hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Is this Oracle Corporation’s PAC or an official account?
- No. $283,174 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Oracle Corporation. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a software-publishing NAICS total and not an Oracle PAC.
- Where is the overlay for the Oracle Corporation 2008 join?
- Open Oracle Corporation 2008 for the cycle overlay, Oracle Corporation 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 file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
