  • Mean amounts are about $93 per contribution and about $4,965 per donor record.

Nearly 100,000 lines, a $93 mean gift

$8,907,436, 96,223 itemizations, and 1,794 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $93. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,965. Repeat giving is about 54 itemizations per donor record.

96,223 lines from 1,794 records is a high-repeat professional-title stack: many schedules, a low per-line mean. Headline dollars near $8.9 million arrive through volume rather than large average gifts.

The packet has no public-versus-academic split, no MLS field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain small.

LIBRARIAN is not a library-staff census

The FEC record does not verify an MLS degree or a library appointment. Archivists, media specialists, and retirees can all type LIBRARIAN. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $8,907,436, 96,223 contributions, and 1,794 donors. TEACHER, EDUCATOR, and PROFESSOR remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.
