Key figures

  • MARKETING itemizations sum to $29,904,769 from 133,163 contributions and 5,619 donors.
  • The department word is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a NAICS code.
  • Mean amounts are about $225 per contribution and about $5,322 per donor record.
  • Quote the 133,163 contribution count with the dollars so the high line volume is visible.

Department noun with a thick line stack

$29,904,769, 133,163 itemizations, and 5,619 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $225. Mean dollars per donor record is about $5,322. Repeat giving is about 24 itemizations per donor record.

The contribution count is large relative to the dollars. A citation that quotes only $29.9 million hides 133,163 itemizations. Quote both.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median.

Marketing is not a job census

The word can mean a function, a department, or a self-description. The FEC occupation column does not split director versus coordinator versus consultant. This overlay does not invent that split.

This page cites only $29,904,769, 133,163 contributions, and 5,619 donors. Neighboring titles remain other keys unless the bulk extract normalized them to MARKETING.
