UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

A wider donor roster at $4,780,435

Seven hundred fifty-one donors produced 23,844 contributions, about 32 itemized gifts per person. That is a broader unique-person base than campus clusters that concentrate dollars in a few hundred filers. $4,780,435 ÷ 751 ≈ $6,365 per donor, lower than some peer universities in this same packet wave because the denominator is larger.

Penn Medicine, Wharton, or a hospital legal name can file as different industry keys. This total is UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA only. Top employer matches that full string.

Why “Penn” is not this slug

Filers who wrote Penn, UPenn, or U. of Pennsylvania sit in other keys if ingest kept the spellings separate. Searchers should not assume $4,780,435 is every Philadelphia-campus affiliation on FEC.gov. It is one employer/occupation string in LobbyVault’s industry index.

Occupation breakdowns still matter for titles (professor, physician, student) that co-occur with this employer text. The industry page does not recode those titles into NAICS.
