UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA

A multi-campus system name on Schedule A

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Faculty, staff, medical-center affiliates, and others type UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA rather than UCLA, Berkeley, or a medical-center legal name. The $10,056,583 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not UC’s operating budget, not tuition, and not a NAICS 6113 rollup of all colleges.

People who typed UCLA, UC BERKELEY, UC SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, TEACHER, or PROFESSOR without the system name sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those campus spellings into this key. Alumni who list a later private employer are not in these 979 donors unless a receipt still carried UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.

979 donors and 60,591 lines

979 unique donors produced 60,591 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA contribution lines totaling $10,056,583. That is on the order of 62 itemized receipts per donor — among the higher paperwork volumes in this dollar band. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and campus PAC filings are outside the $10,056,583 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 60,591 lines are expected.

Questions

How much have UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $10,056,583 to the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA employer string, from 60,591 contributions and 979 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a campus PAC and not a NAICS higher-education total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.

Does this include UCLA or Berkeley as typed?

Only if the receipt grouped to UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. Campus abbreviations such as UCLA or UC BERKELEY are other stored strings when filers typed them. STATE OF CALIFORNIA is a separate government-employer key. Figures here are limited to this FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this UC corporate or endowment spending?

No. The $10,056,583 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. Endowment management and campus PAC filings are other categories. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

Why so many contributions from 979 donors?

The 60,591 lines include repeat gifts from the same 979 people — on the order of 62 itemized receipts per donor. Recurring itemized programs raise the line count. The FEC field is transactional, not a once-per-employee census. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.
