Small performing-arts pool, high repeat

$13,378,363 is the occupation-level dollar total. 52,289 is the itemization count. 1,461 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $256. Mean dollars per donor record are about $9,157. Repeat giving is about 36 itemizations per donor record.

52,289 lines from 1,461 records is a high-repeat pattern: a modest performing-arts pool generating many schedules. The per-donor mean of about $9,157 is an arithmetic result on that compact set, not typical residual income allocated to politics.

These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet has no SAG-AFTRA field, no film-versus-stage split, and no gift-size distribution.

ACTOR is not ARTIST and not MUSICIAN

ARTIST, MUSICIAN, ACTRESS, and PERFORMER — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to ACTOR. This page cites only $13,378,363, 52,289 contributions, and 1,461 donors.

The FEC does not verify credits, union cards, or IMDb records. Voice actors, stage actors, and people who act as a side occupation can all type ACTOR. Occupation is the donor’s word on that line.
