Contributions

$566,073 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping UCLA. FEC.gov aggregates count 782 contributions from 203 donors. The same string totals $7,408,907 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 7.6% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not a University of California system total and not a campus PAC.

Key figures

  • UCLA × 2012 is $566,073 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 782 contributions from 203 donors.
  • 2012 is about 7.6% of the grouping’s $7,408,907 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a University of California system total and not a campus PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

UCLA as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — UCLA and 2012 — sum to $566,073. 782 itemized contributions and 203 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. 2012 is a presidential even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the UCLA hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. UCLA is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 203 donors and 782 lines in 2012 matched that word. People who typed a school, medical center, or UC system name instead of UCLA sit in other buckets. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES, UC LOS ANGELES, and other UC campuses are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string UCLA as stored.

7.6% of the UCLA roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,408,907. The 2012 slice of $566,073 is about 7.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 92.4%. Treating 2012 as the UCLA FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $7,408,907 as the denominator for the 7.6% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, 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 $7,408,907. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

Questions

How much did UCLA donors give in 2012?
FEC.gov aggregates show $566,073 in itemized individual contributions for the UCLA grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 782 contributions and 203 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $7,408,907 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.
What share of UCLA FEC money is 2012?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $7,408,907. The 2012 cell of $566,073 is about 7.6% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 92.4% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the UCLA hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Does this include only current UCLA employees or licensees?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string UCLA. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $566,073 from 203 donors on 782 contribution lines.
Where is the overlay for the UCLA 2012 join?
Open UCLA 2012 for the cycle overlay, UCLA 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.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle.
