$659,431 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the occupation grouping Teacher. FEC.gov aggregates count 855 contributions from 233 donors. The same string totals $10,159,471 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.5% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not an education NAICS total and not a teachers-union PAC.
Key figures
- Teacher × 2012 is $659,431 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 855 contributions from 233 donors.
- 2012 is about 6.5% of the grouping’s $10,159,471 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not an education NAICS total and not a teachers-union PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Teacher as stored text, 2012 as cycle
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Teacher and 2012 — sum to $659,431. 855 itemized contributions and 233 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
Neither the Teacher hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Teacher as a title collected 855 lines from 233 donors in 2012. The FEC does not verify a classroom assignment. Professors who typed Professor or a campus name sit on those other keys. Named districts as employers sit on firm or agency pages. EDUCATOR, PROFESSOR, SCHOOL TEACHER, TEACHER/RETIRED, and named school districts or universities are other keys. This page is the one-word Teacher string.
6.5% of the Teacher roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $10,159,471 ($10.2 million). The 2012 slice of $659,431 is about 6.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.5%. Treating 2012 as the Teacher FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $10,159,471 as the denominator for the 6.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $10,159,471.

Questions
- How much did Teacher donors give in 2012?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $659,431 in itemized individual contributions for the Teacher grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 855 contributions and 233 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $10,159,471 all-cycle figure.
- What share of Teacher FEC money is 2012?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $10,159,471. The 2012 cell of $659,431 is about 6.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.5% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Teacher hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Does this include only licensed or currently employed Teacher donors?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported string Teacher. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $659,431 from 233 donors.
- Where is the overlay for the Teacher 2012 join?
- Open Teacher 2012 for the cycle overlay, Teacher for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
