Unique Donors

Donors who entered CEO as occupation account for $336,009,831 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov files. That sum sits on 378,272 contributions from 35,118 donor records. CEO here is three letters in the occupation field, stored separately from C.E.O. and from longer titles such as chief executive officer if those did not normalize to CEO. In compact form that dollar total is $336.0 million in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data.
Key figures
- CEO occupation itemizations sum to $336,009,831 from 378,272 contributions and 35,118 donors.
- C.E.O. with periods is a separate FEC occupation bucket.
- Mean amounts are about $888 per contribution and about $9,568 per donor record.
- The title is donor-typed text on Form 3/3X schedules, not a verified CEO registry.
Scale of the CEO string
$336,009,831 is the occupation-level dollar total. 378,272 is the itemization count. 35,118 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $888. Mean dollars per donor record is about $9,568. Both sit toward the high side among common occupation labels in this extract.
The repeat rate is about 11 itemizations per donor record. That is close to several other senior-title strings and far below occupations that generate thirty or more lines per person. Frequency and dollar size are different dimensions; this bucket is heavier on dollars per line than on raw line count.
These means are not typical-check estimates. A small number of large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain smaller. The packet does not include a distribution.
Punctuation splits the public record
C.E.O. is a different occupation page with its own facts. Donors and software that insert periods create a parallel bucket. Combining CEO and C.E.O. without showing both source totals would mix keys the FEC file kept apart. This guide cites only the CEO facts: $336,009,831, 378,272 contributions, and 35,118 donors.
Chief executive officer, founder, and president are also separate strings when that is what the donor wrote. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary. LobbyVault indexes the text that arrived in the bulk download.

Questions
- How much have CEO-occupation donors given in FEC data?
- The CEO occupation string is attached to $336,009,831 in LobbyVault’s FEC bulk index, across 378,272 contributions and 35,118 donor records. The figure is itemized occupation money, not a census of all chief executives. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.
- Is C.E.O. included in the CEO total?
- No. C.E.O. is a separate occupation string with its own dollar, contribution, and donor facts. This page covers the CEO key only: $336,009,831, 378,272 contributions, and 35,118 donors. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.
- What is the average CEO contribution in this file?
- Dividing $336,009,831 by 378,272 itemizations yields about $888 per contribution. Dividing by 35,118 donors yields about $9,568 per donor record. Both are means, not medians. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.
- Does listing CEO imply the donor ran a public company?
- No. Occupation is self-reported free text. Private-company chiefs, nonprofit heads, and people using CEO loosely can all appear. The FEC record does not verify corporate form. The matching contribution count is 378,272 and the matching donor-record count is 35,118. Those three numbers are occupation-string totals from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault, not a licensed roster and not a party split.
