Key figures

  • INVESTOR occupation lines sum to $135,613,491 from 116,247 contributions and 11,422 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $1,167 per contribution and about $11,873 per donor record.
  • INVESTMENTS is a separate FEC occupation key and is not merged here.
  • The title is self-reported and does not encode fund size or accredited status.

Fewer lines, higher dollars per line

116,247 itemizations is a thinner transaction stack than many professional labels. Against $135,613,491, the mean is about $1,167 per contribution. Against 11,422 donors, the mean is about $11,873 per donor record. About 10 contributions per donor is the repeat rate.

That shape is dollar-heavy relative to line count. It still includes small itemizations; a mean above $1,000 does not mean every gift was that size. The packet has no median.

Retired people, fund principals, and informal investors may all type INVESTOR. The FEC box does not encode accredited-investor status or assets under management.

INVESTOR versus INVESTMENTS

INVESTMENTS is a separate occupation page. Some donors describe their work as a noun (investor) and some as a field (investments). Combining the keys without showing both source totals would mix strings the bulk file kept apart. This overlay cites only $135,613,491, 116,247 contributions, and 11,422 donors.

FINANCE, BANKER, and FOUNDER are also separate. A person who wrote INVESTOR on one gift and FINANCE on another appears in both occupation totals for those lines.
