$663,042 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the employer string University Of California. FEC.gov aggregates count 994 contributions from 346 donors. The same stored string totals $10,056,583 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.6% of the lifetime bucket — filer-entered form text meeting a two-year window, not a UC PAC, a campus payroll census, or an education NAICS total.

Key figures

  • University Of California × 2008 is $663,042 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 994 contributions from 346 donors.
  • 2008 is about 6.6% of the grouping’s $10,056,583 all-cycle total.
  • The label is filer-entered form text, not a UC PAC, a campus payroll census, or an education NAICS total.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

University Of California as stored text, 2008 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA and 2008 — sum to $663,042. 994 itemized contributions and 346 unique donors produced it. The total is not a corporate treasury gift and is not a committee disbursement. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the University Of California hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. University Of California is employer string, not a verified payroll file. 346 donors and 994 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. Campus-specific strings such as UCLA or UC Berkeley are other keys. This cell is the stored employer UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. People who typed UC, UC BERKELEY, UCLA, UCSF, and UNIVERSITY OF CA sit in other buckets. This page is the exact string UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open University Of California 2008 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2008 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the University Of California 2008 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $663,042, 994 contributions, 346 donors, and 6.6% of $10,056,583.

6.6% of the University Of California roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $10,056,583. The 2008 slice of $663,042 is about 6.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.4% ($9,393,541). Treating 2008 as the entire University Of California FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $10,056,583 as the denominator for the 6.6% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $10,056,583. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

Is $663,042 the University Of California PAC total for 2008?
No. $663,042 is itemized individual contributions whose employer or occupation field grouped to UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA in the 2008 cycle. It is not committee disbursements, not independent expenditures, and not a verified employee census. 994 contributions came from 346 donors. Cite FEC.gov.
