How USPS meets the 2012 cycle
$447,113 requires both keys at once: grouped employer/industry USPS, and cycle 2012. LobbyVault keeps a USPS industry hub and a 2012 election-cycle hub. Neither hub is this page. This URL is only the intersection. USPS is grouped employer text on Schedule A, not the Postal Service as a corporate treasury filer and not every USPS / U.S. POSTAL SERVICE spelling. Those other strings, if they exist in the extract, are other keys. 568 unique donors produced 1,228 itemized receipts in 2012, about 2.2 lines per donor.
Recipient committees and disclosed contributor names are not in these headline facts. Use the Usps 2012 overlay for those rows.
5.57% of the USPS parent book
The parent grouping USPS totals $8,027,435 across every cycle in this table. 2012 holds $447,113, or 5.57% of that book. Other windows hold $7,580,322 (94.4%). Reading only 2012 understates the parent; reading only the parent hides this two-year cell.
Mean gift size near $364 and mean per donor near $787 belong to this cell only. They are not restated as the parent’s typical gift.
