PRICE WATERHOUSE
FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault assign $6,975,521 to the employer string PRICE WATERHOUSE. The cluster is 17,105 contributions from 608 donors. That text is a pre-merger firm name as typed on itemized individual receipts, not a NAICS accounting-industry total, not PricewaterhouseCoopers as a current legal entity, and not a firm PAC. COOPERS & LYBRAND, DELOITTE, KPMG LLP, and ERNST & YOUNG remain sibling keys.
Key figures
- PRICE WATERHOUSE as FEC employer text totals $6,975,521 from 608 donors.
- 17,105 contribution lines sit under that legacy firm string.
- COOPERS & LYBRAND, DELOITTE, and KPMG LLP are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or successor PAC total.
The other half of a merger, still stored separately
COOPERS & LYBRAND and PRICE WATERHOUSE both survive as FEC employer keys. LobbyVault does not merge them because filers still type each string. The $6,975,521 total is itemized individual gifts whose employer field grouped to PRICE WATERHOUSE. It is not PwC’s current PAC and not a combined Coopers-plus-Price Waterhouse recode.
People who typed PWC, PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, COOPERS & LYBRAND, DELOITTE, or ACCOUNTANT without a firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode merger history into one Big Four key.
PRICE WATERHOUSE as two words is the stored key. Hyphenated or concatenated successor spellings are other keys if present. LobbyVault does not apply corporate-history logic to employer text.
608 donors and 17,105 receipts
608 unique donors produced 17,105 PRICE WATERHOUSE contribution lines totaling $6,975,521. That is on the order of 28 itemized receipts per donor. COOPERS & LYBRAND remains a sibling legacy-name key with its own page. The packet does not publish a mean gift or an active-versus-retired split.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings in a successor firm’s name are outside the $6,975,521 unless the individual receipt itself lists PRICE WATERHOUSE. Unitemized gifts never appear.
608 unique donors produced 17,105 lines totaling $6,975,521. That is the entire factual payload for this string. Cycle splits and office splits are not on the industry headline.

Questions
- How much have PRICE WATERHOUSE-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $6,975,521 to the PRICE WATERHOUSE employer string, from 17,105 contributions and 608 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a successor firm’s PAC and not a NAICS accounting 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers corporate political spending?
- No. The $6,975,521 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to PRICE WATERHOUSE. Successor legal names, 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 Coopers & Lybrand or Deloitte employees?
- No. COOPERS & LYBRAND and DELOITTE are separate employer strings with their own pages. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text PRICE WATERHOUSE. Staff who typed only ACCOUNTANT or CPA are in those title rows instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed PRICE WATERHOUSE?
- The rollup counts 608 donors and 17,105 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an alumni headcount from a successor firm. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
