$1,857,251 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the occupation grouping Psychologist. FEC.gov aggregates count 931 contributions from 153 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $26,651,726, so this midterm cell is about 7.0% of the lifetime bucket — a professional-title string meeting a two-year window, not a licensing-board roster.
Key figures
- $1,857,251 joins the Psychologist occupation grouping to the 2014 FEC cycle.
- 931 contributions from 153 donors produced that cell.
- 2014 is about 7.0% of the grouping’s $26,651,726 lifetime total.
- The title is self-reported; the join is not a license roster or a spending award.
Psychologist × 2014 as a relationship
The occupation hub for Psychologist stacks every cycle. The 2014 cycle hub stacks every employer and occupation. This page keeps the inner join: $1,857,251. Nine hundred thirty-one itemized gifts and 153 unique donors produced it. That is a filter pair, not a statement about a clinical field’s politics.
Average contribution is about $1,995; average per donor is about $12,139. The per-donor mean sits above many occupation cells with similar gift sizes because 153 people, not several hundred, produced the 931 gifts. Repeat giving inside the midterm window is the arithmetic explanation.
The string is self-reported. Psychiatrist, therapist, and counselor are different buckets if stored separately.
The occupation’s $26.7 million lifetime stack
$26,651,726 is every cycle combined. $1,857,251 in 2014 is about 7.0% of that stack. Other two-year windows, including presidential years, hold the rest. A midterm cell at 7% is neither a rounding error nor the occupation’s main FEC chapter.
The industry page is the place to see whether other cycles dwarf 2014. This tie only certifies the 2014 cell and its share of the published lifetime total.

Questions
- How much did Psychologist-labeled donors give in 2014?
- The Psychologist grouping’s 2014 cell is $1,857,251 in itemized individual contributions, from 931 contributions and 153 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $26,651,726 all-cycle occupation total.
- Does this count only licensed psychologists?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported occupation string Psychologist on individual contribution records. The FEC does not verify licenses. Related titles may sit in other groupings if the pipeline stored them separately. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Why is the per-donor average above $12,000?
- Because $1,857,251 divided by 153 donors is about $12,139. 931 contributions from those 153 people imply repeat itemized giving inside the 2014 window. The mean is a ratio, not a typical single check. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Do these gifts fund federal health programs?
- No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards appear in USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
