2008 Election Cycle

Total Donated

$207,456

Contributions

231

Unique Donors

86

Two filters produce $231,106: the grouping Oracle and the 2008 election cycle. FEC.gov individual-contribution tables supply 265 contributions and 101 donors. $3,920,641 is the all-cycle denominator for the same stored string, so 2008 is about 5.9% of that bucket. Not an oracle pac, not oracle america as a separate stored employer, and not a federal it-contract total.

Key figures

  • Oracle × 2008 is $231,106 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 265 contributions from 101 donors.
  • 2008 is about 5.9% of the grouping’s $3,920,641 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text (software employer text), not a PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

How the Oracle 2008 intersection is built

Public records on FEC.gov group itemized individual receipts by employer or occupation text and by election cycle. This file is the Oracle row of the 2008 column: $231,106, 265 contributions, 101 donors. The packet does not list candidate names, party splits, or committee IDs.

Software employer text is the dimension on one side; the two-year 2008 tag is the other. Not an oracle pac, not oracle america as a separate stored employer, and not a federal it-contract total. ORACLE CORP, ORACLE CORPORATION, and ORACLE AMERICA are other keys. Those neighboring strings have their own overlays if they exist.

Do not cite $3,920,641 as a 2008 total. Do not cite $231,106 as the lifetime Oracle total. Each number answers a different filter. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain the dollar cell.

The lifetime Oracle denominator

5.9% is $231,106 divided by $3,920,641. That arithmetic uses only packet facts. The leftover 94.1% equals $3,689,535 and lives on other cycle pages for Oracle. A mid-single-digit share (or any other share this packet happens to show) is not a peak-year claim.

$3,920,641 is a sum of itemized individual receipts grouped to ORACLE 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 5.9% attached to Oracle and 2008 together.

Questions

How much did Oracle donors give in 2008?
FEC.gov aggregates show $231,106 in itemized individual contributions for the Oracle grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 265 contributions and 101 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $3,920,641 all-cycle figure. Independent expenditures are not included.
What share of Oracle FEC money is 2008?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $3,920,641. The 2008 cell of $231,106 is about 5.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.1% ($3,689,535) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.
Does this include only currently employed Oracle workers?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string ORACLE. 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 2008 only, totaling $231,106 from 101 donors across 265 contributions.
Where is the overlay for the Oracle 2008 join?
Open Oracle 2008 for the cycle overlay, Oracle for the grouping hub, and 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. Cite FEC.gov for $231,106, 265 contributions, and 101 donors.
