STANFORD UNIVERSITY

A campus legal name on individual receipts

Faculty, staff, medical-center employees, and others type STANFORD UNIVERSITY in the employer box. LobbyVault ranks that grouped text. The $15,350,461 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Stanford’s operating budget, not tuition revenue, and not a NAICS 6113 rollup of all higher-education employers.

People who typed STANFORD HOSPITAL, a lab acronym, STUDENT, or PROFESSOR without the university name sit in other rows. Alumni who list a later private employer are not in these 1,273 donors unless a receipt still carried STANFORD UNIVERSITY.

1,273 donors and 40,360 lines

1,273 unique donors produced 40,360 STANFORD UNIVERSITY contribution lines totaling $15,350,461. That is on the order of 32 itemized receipts per donor. Recurring itemized gifts can produce that ratio. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a split among faculty, staff, and medical-center payrolls.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and any separate university-related committee filings are outside the $15,350,461. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Questions

Is this Stanford’s institutional political spending?
