Key figures

  • ARCHITECT itemizations sum to $31,910,255 from 145,938 contributions and 6,228 donors.
  • The noun is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a license roster or NAICS code.
  • Mean amounts are about $219 per contribution and about $5,124 per donor record.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

High volume, modest per-line mean

$31,910,255, 145,938 itemizations, and 6,228 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $219. Mean dollars per donor record is about $5,124. Repeat giving is about 23 itemizations per donor record.

The shape matches other licensed-trade strings that generate many small itemizations. A citation that quotes only $31.9 million hides the 145,938-line stack.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median.

Architect is not a NAICS code and not a board list

FEC occupation is free text. Software architects, landscape architects, and licensed building architects can share this string if they typed ARCHITECT. The bulk file does not split those senses. This overlay does not invent that split.

This page cites only $31,910,255, 145,938 contributions, and 6,228 donors. The FEC record does not verify an architecture license.
