How much have PFIZER INC-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $6,607,989 to the PFIZER INC employer string, from 68,358 contributions and 887 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS pharmaceutical total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this Pfizer corporate political spending?

No. The $6,607,989 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to PFIZER INC. Corporate treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. LobbyVault does not fold those documents into this industry row. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Does this include Kaiser Permanente or pharmacist-title donors?

No. KAISER PERMANENTE and PHARMACIST are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text PFIZER INC. Clinicians who typed a title or a health system are in those other rows. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed PFIZER INC?

The rollup counts 887 donors and 68,358 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

PFIZER INC

Contributors who listed PFIZER INC on federal itemized receipts account for $6,607,989, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 68,358 contributions from 887 donors. PFIZER INC is a manufacturer name as typed, not a NAICS pharmaceutical total, not Pfizer’s PAC, and not every salesperson who typed PHARMACIST or MEDICAL DOCTOR. KAISER PERMANENTE is a health-system sibling row, not a drug-maker synonym.

Key figures

PFIZER INC as FEC employer text totals $6,607,989 from 887 donors.
68,358 contribution lines sit under that manufacturer string.
KAISER PERMANENTE and PHARMACIST are separate FEC keys.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.

Inc. on the employer line, not a drug-industry code

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. PFIZER INC includes the INC suffix as stored. The $6,607,989 total is those itemized gifts. It is not Pfizer’s revenue, not a vaccine-contract figure, and not a NAICS rollup of all drug manufacturers.

People who typed PFIZER without INC, PFIZER INC., a subsidiary, or PHARMACIST without the company sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key.

Sales, manufacturing, and research staff share PFIZER INC when they type it. The 68,358 lines do not split those functions. Occupation pages show titles beside the company when the occupation box was filled.

887 donors and 68,358 lines

887 unique donors produced 68,358 PFIZER INC contribution lines totaling $6,607,989. That is on the order of 77 itemized receipts per donor — high line density relative to the 887-person donor count. Payroll PAC-style itemized patterns can produce that volume. The packet does not publish a mean gift or an R&D-versus-sales split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $6,607,989 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

887 unique donors is not a global headcount. Contractors and former employees who still type PFIZER INC share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR export.
