Donors listing Stanford University reported $1,157,270 in itemized individual contributions during the 2012 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 969 contributions from 312 donors. The figure is a slice of the Stanford University employer grouping, not a university PAC and not an endowment transfer. This page joins that campus employer string to the 2012 two-year window so the overlap can be read without treating it as a faculty census or a ranking of colleges. Campus employer keys and professor-title keys split the same real-world people; this page reports only filers who typed Stanford University as the workplace string.
Key figures
- Stanford University × 2012 is $1,157,270 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 969 contributions from 312 donors.
- 2012 is about 7.5% of the grouping’s $15,350,461 all-cycle total.
- The key is a campus employer string, not a faculty census.
- FEC gifts and federal research awards are different datasets.
Stanford University crossed with 2012
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Stanford University and 2012 — sum to $1,157,270. The total is not an official university disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $15,350,461. The 2012 slice is about 7.5% of that running sum. A presidential-year cell that is roughly one-thirteenth of the key’s history is a real intersection. It is not the whole story of the label, and it is not a substitute for occupation keys such as Educator Professor, which store title text rather than a school name.
What the campus employer string holds
Filers type employer text. Stanford University collects strings that match this institution name. People who listed a hospital affiliate, a lab with a different legal name, or simply “professor” without the school may land elsewhere. This join does not merge those neighbors.
312 donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of faculty plus staff plus alumni. Alumni who listed a current employer other than the university are absent from this cell. Retirees who still typed the school name can be present. The Commission does not certify affiliation.
Treat $15,350,461 as the denominator for the 7.5% share. It is not an endowment figure and not proof of a university political program. Neighboring school keys have their own denominators.
