2008 filtered to Philanthropist
Apply the Philanthropist filter to the 2008 election cycle and the remaining money is $467,132. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 208 contributions and 55 donors. The overlay at the cycle path lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.
Philanthropist is self-reported occupation word. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 55 unique donors matched the stored string in 2008. Repeat gifts can raise 208 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.
The all-cycle Philanthropist total of $12,157,931 still includes other windows. Citing $12,157,931 as if it were 2008 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2008 hub as if it were Philanthropist-only would overstate the year.
3.8% in 2008, 96.2% elsewhere
3.8% of stored Philanthropist money is tagged 2008 ($467,132). 96.2% is not ($11,690,799). Both percentages use $12,157,931 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.
The industry hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2008 so $12,157,931 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Lifetime Philanthropist storage is $12,157,931. Subtract the 2008 cell and $11,690,799 remains. That remainder is 96.2% of the grouping. 3.8% is the 2008 share. Both percentages use packet facts only.
