Key figures

  • University of Washington × 2008 is $335,349 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 574 contributions from 240 donors.
  • 2008 is about 4.2% of the grouping’s $8,069,612 all-cycle total.
  • The label is filer-entered form text (UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON), not a PAC disbursement and not a NAICS total.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Headline cell $335,349

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — University of Washington (UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON) and 2008 — sum to $335,349. 574 itemized contributions and 240 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 Washington hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON is the stored employer string. UW, U OF WASHINGTON, UNIV OF WASHINGTON, and WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY are other keys — the last is a different institution if stored that way. A 2010 University of Washington cycle page exists as a separate join; do not add it here. 240 unique donors are not a faculty census. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $335,349. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.

95.8% of University of Washington dollars sit outside 2008

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,069,612 ($8.1 million). The 2008 slice of $335,349 is about 4.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.8% ($7,734,263). Treating 2008 as the University of Washington FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $8,069,612 as the denominator for the 4.2% 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 2008 from being folded silently into $8,069,612.

Questions

How much itemized money sits at UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON in 2008?
FEC.gov aggregates show $335,349 in itemized individual contributions for the University of Washington grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 574 contributions and 240 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,069,612 all-cycle figure. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
How much of the $8.1 million University of Washington book is 2008?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,069,612. The 2008 cell of $335,349 is about 4.2% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.8% ($7,734,263) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the University of Washington hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Are these University of Washington PAC transfers in 2008?
No. $335,349 is itemized individual contributions whose employer or occupation field grouped to University of Washington (UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON) in the 2008 cycle. It is not committee disbursements, not independent expenditures, and not a verified employee census. 574 contributions came from 240 donors. Do not invent those names from the grouping label.
Which hub drops the 2008 filter?
Open University of Washington 2008 for the cycle overlay, University of Washington for the grouping hub, and the 2008 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. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.
