PWC
Contributors who listed PWC on federal itemized receipts account for $4.2M ($4,227,791), according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 11,105 contributions from 1,230 donors. PWC is a three-letter abbreviation as typed, not a NAICS accounting total, not PricewaterhouseCoopers spelled out, and not the firm’s PAC.
Key figures
- PWC as FEC employer text totals $4.2M ($4,227,791) from 1,230 donors.
- 11,105 contribution lines sit under that three-letter abbreviation.
- PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, DELOITTE, and KPMG LLP are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.
Three-letter brand versus the spelled-out firm
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. PWC is three letters as stored on individual receipts. The $4,227,791 total is those itemized gifts. It is not PricewaterhouseCoopers’s global revenue, not consulting-contract value, and not the PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS row that already has its own overlay.
People who typed PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, PRICE WATERHOUSE, PWC LLP, or ACCOUNTANT without the abbreviation sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not collapse those spellings into this key. Researchers who want a combined PwC family must recode after export.
1,230 donors and 11,105 lines
1,230 unique donors produced 11,105 PWC contribution lines totaling $4,227,791. That is on the order of 9 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $381. Mean per donor is about $3,437—thinner per person than many law-firm strings in this ranking because the donor count is large relative to the dollar total.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $4,227,791 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Questions
- How much have PWC-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $4,227,791 to the PWC employer string, from 11,105 contributions and 1,230 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the firm’s PAC and not a NAICS accounting total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this the same as PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS?
- No. PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS is a separate grouped string with its own page. The $4.2M total is only receipts whose employer text grouped to PWC. LobbyVault does not merge the spelled-out firm into this row. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts are omitted.
- Does this include Deloitte or KPMG employees?
- No. DELOITTE and KPMG LLP are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text PWC. 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 PWC?
- The rollup counts 1,230 donors and 11,105 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the firm. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
