FEC.gov records $542,099 where the stored grouping SOCIAL WORKER meets the 2012 election cycle. That join rests on 455 itemized individual contributions from 96 donors. Across every cycle, the same string sums to $6,567,509, so 2012 is about 8.3% of the running book. The dollars are Schedule A aggregates, not a social-work PAC, a licensing-board census, or a health-and-social-assistance NAICS total.

Key figures

  • $542,099 is the Social Worker × 2012 join on FEC.gov.
  • 455 contributions came from 96 donors.
  • 8.3% of the $6,567,509 lifetime grouping sits in 2012.
  • SOCIAL WORKER is an exact filer-entered string, not a social-work PAC, a licensing-board census, or a health-and-social-assistance NAICS total.
  • Means of about $1,191 per receipt and $5,647 per donor are arithmetic only.

Why Social Worker and 2012 share one page

This page exists because two indexes meet. One index is the occupation string Social Worker. The other is the 2012 two-year FEC window. Only rows that carry both keys enter $542,099. The Social Worker hub without a year filter is $6,567,509. The 2012 cycle hub without this employer filter is a different table and is not a denominator in this packet. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection.

License abbreviations and agency employers are other keys. The 2012 cell is the stored occupation SOCIAL WORKER. 455 lines and 96 identities produced the cell. Repeat gifts explain why the line count can exceed the donor count. The overlay Social Worker 2012 holds the itemized rows. This JSON file names the join; it is not a second filing system.

Do not restate the Social Worker hub as if it were 2012-only, and do not restate the 2012 cycle hub as if it were Social Worker-only. Two filters, one cell: $542,099 from FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

The Social Worker string without the year filter

$6,567,509 is every cycle for the stored string SOCIAL WORKER. Subtract $542,099 and $6,025,410 remains in other even-year windows (91.7%). That remainder is visible on the Social Worker hub. It is not published as a cycle-by-cycle list in this packet, so other years are not quoted here as dollar amounts.

SOCIAL WORK, LCSW, MSW, CASEWORKER, and named agencies are neighboring spellings. They are not aliases of SOCIAL WORKER. Adding them would invent a sector total the packet does not contain. Social Worker is occupation string, not a social-work PAC, a licensing-board census, or a health-and-social-assistance NAICS total.

Questions

How much FEC money is tagged Social Worker in 2012?
This extract records $542,099 on 455 itemized individual receipts from 96 donors where the stored grouping is SOCIAL WORKER and the cycle is 2012. That is not the $6,567,509 all-cycle book and not a PAC total. Source: FEC.gov.
Is Social Worker the same as SOCIAL WORK?
No. Only the exact stored string SOCIAL WORKER is inside $542,099. SOCIAL WORK, LCSW, MSW, CASEWORKER, and named agencies are other keys on this site. 96 donors and 455 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not recode the employer field into a sector total.
What share of Social Worker dollars landed in 2012?
$542,099 is about 8.3% of the all-cycle grouping $6,567,509. Other even-year windows hold $6,025,410 (91.7%) on the Social Worker hub. Quote both totals together. Do not recast 8.3% as a ranking of employers in 2012.
Does Social Worker giving in 2012 pay for USAspending awards?
No. FEC Schedule A individual contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets under different statutes. This packet publishes no obligation dollars. Sharing a workplace string and a calendar year does not convert $542,099 into a federal contract or grant. Cite FEC.gov. SOCIAL WORKER in 2012 is $542,099 on 455 itemized receipts from 96 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $6,567,509.
