Those dollars arrived in 1,049 contributions from 325 donors.

Key figures
- University of California × 2012 is $694,665 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 1,049 contributions from 325 donors.
- 2012 is about 6.9% of the grouping’s $10,056,583 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a higher-education NAICS total and not a university PAC or endowment figure.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Campus employer string × 2012
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — University of California and 2012 — sum to $694,665. 1,049 itemized contributions and 325 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 University of California hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Three hundred twenty-five donors listed University of California in 2012 across 1,049 contribution lines — a broad campus-system employer cell. Campus-level strings such as UCLA sit next door if filers typed them. State of California is a different government key. Research awards on USAspending are not these receipts. UC BERKELEY, UCLA, UC SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, and UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA MEDICAL CENTER are other keys if stored separately.
6.9% of the University of California roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $10,056,583 ($10.1 million). The 2012 slice of $694,665 is about 6.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.1%. Treating 2012 as the University of California FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $10,056,583 as the denominator for the 6.9% 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 $10,056,583.

- FEC.gov aggregates show $694,665 in itemized individual contributions for the University of California grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 1,049 contributions and 325 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $10,056,583 all-cycle figure.
- What share of University of California FEC money is 2012?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $10,056,583. The 2012 cell of $694,665 is about 6.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.1% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the University of California hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Is this University of California’s institutional PAC or endowment?
- No. $694,665 is contributor disclosures that listed University of California as employer. The university as an institution is not the payor. Endowment figures and research awards are different datasets. 325 donors are text matches, not a faculty census. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the University of California hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Where is the overlay for the University of California 2012 join?
- Open University of California 2012 for the cycle overlay, University of California 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.
