Key figures

  • GEOLOGIST occupation itemizations sum to $9,308,121 from 24,898 contributions and 1,311 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $374 per contribution and about $7,100 per donor record.
  • The word is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a verified geologist roster.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

Mid-volume earth-science title, a $374 mean

$9,308,121, 24,898 itemizations, and 1,311 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $374. Mean dollars per donor record are about $7,100. Repeat giving is about 19 itemizations per donor record.

24,898 lines from 1,311 records is a mid-volume science-title stack with more repeat than many professional ranks at this dollar band. The $374 per-line mean is arithmetic, not a typical consulting day-rate redirected to politics.

The packet has no oil-versus-environmental split, no license field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average.

GEOLOGIST is not a board-certification census

The FEC record does not verify a geology degree or professional geologist license. Petroleum, mining, and environmental uses of the word can all appear. Best-efforts rules do not force a disciplinary taxonomy.

This page cites only $9,308,121, 24,898 contributions, and 1,311 donors. SCIENTIST, ENGINEER, and PHYSICIST remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.
