FUNDRAISER

High-repeat receipts under $6.0 million

$5,997,881 is the occupation-level dollar total. 26,264 is the itemization count. 1,056 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $228 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $5,680 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 25 itemizations per donor record. Twenty-six thousand-plus lines from 1,056 donor records is a high-repeat pattern: many receipts per person, modest mean dollars per line.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no cycle series. A few large lines can lift $228 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

The occupation is adjacent to the receipts themselves, which can confuse readers. This total is money tagged with the occupation FUNDRAISER, not money those people raised for others.

Job noun versus money raised for others

DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, FUNDRAISING CONSULTANT, and FUNDRAISER are different occupation keys if committees typed them that way. LobbyVault does not merge development-shop vocabulary.

FEC Form 3 (candidate committees) and Form 3X (PACs and party committees) collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of job titles and no license check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals FUNDRAISER after indexing. DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, FUNDRAISING CONSULTANT, and CONSULTANT remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to FUNDRAISER.
