Filers who wrote Real Estate Developer in the employer or occupation rollup reported $1,097,769 in itemized individual contributions during the 2014 election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 874 contributions from 198 donors. Real Estate Developer here is a text grouping, not a census of licensed developers and not a trade-association PAC. This page joins that occupation-style key to 2014 so the two tables can be read as an overlap rather than as a ranking of property markets. One hundred ninety-eight title-string donors are not a metro developer census and are not the Builder 2012 occupation cell, which uses a different key and a different cycle.
Key figures
- Real Estate Developer × 2014 is $1,097,769 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 874 contributions from 198 donors.
- 2014 is about 5.0% of the grouping’s $22,018,134 all-cycle total.
- The key is a title string, not a company.
- The join does not rank occupations or mix FEC gifts with federal awards.
Why Real Estate Developer and 2014 are joined
LobbyVault’s industry keys include occupation-like strings that appear often enough to form buckets. Real Estate Developer is one of those buckets. Crossing it with 2014 keeps every other occupation and every other cycle out of the dollar total. The result is $1,097,769 — a cell, not a verdict on developers as a class. Named-company keys such as a specific builder or REIT are stored separately.
The same grouping, added across all stored cycles, is $22,018,134. The 2014 slice is about 5.0% of that stack. A midterm cell that is one-twentieth of a large title bucket usually means the label is used in many other windows. It does not mean 2014 was quiet in federal politics overall; the cycle hub holds that wider view.
What the developer string captures
Donors type titles. Some write developer, some write Real Estate Developer, some write a company name. Those strings do not collapse into one official taxonomy. People who listed a firm name land in employer groupings, not here. Mixing this page with a named builder join would double-count or mis-attribute dollars.
198 donors are contributor identities whose matched text fell in this grouping, not a sample of one metro’s developers. A filer who listed both a title and a company name may still land in only one rollup on this site.
Treat $22,018,134 as the denominator for the 5.0% share. Neighboring occupation strings such as Builder, if opened as their own join, keep their own facts. This page does not rank those keys.

Questions
- How much did Real Estate Developer donors give in 2014?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $1,097,769 in itemized individual contributions for the Real Estate Developer grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 874 contributions and 198 donors. The label is a self-reported title bucket, not a trade PAC.
- Are these 198 donors at one development firm?
- No. Real Estate Developer is an occupation-style grouping built from FEC text. The 198 donors are contributor identities that matched that string, not a headcount at a single company.
- What share of the grouping is 2014?
- The grouping’s all-cycle sum is $22,018,134. $1,097,769 divided by that figure is about 5.0%. Other cycles make up the remainder.
- Where is the overlay for this join?
- Open Real Estate Developer 2014 for the table, Real Estate Developer for the grouping hub, and the 2014 election cycle for the year without this title filter. All FEC ties collects other two-dimension pages.
