Donors who wrote PRESIDENT/C.E.O. on federal itemizations account for $43,919,850 in receipts indexed from FEC.gov bulk files. That total sits on only 2,920 contributions tied to 591 donor records. The slash-and-periods spelling is a distinct occupation key, stored apart from PRESIDENT, CEO, C.E.O., PRESIDENT & CEO, and CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. In compact form the occupation total is $43.9 million.
Key figures
- PRESIDENT/C.E.O. itemizations sum to $43,919,850 from 2,920 contributions and 591 donors.
- Mean amounts are about $15,041 per contribution and about $74,314 per donor record.
- Ampersand and no-period spellings of the same titles are separate FEC occupation keys.
- The string is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a verified dual-title registry.
A small pool with a large mean line
Among occupation strings near this dollar band, PRESIDENT/C.E.O. is unusually concentrated: $43,919,850 on 2,920 itemizations from 591 donors. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $15,041 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $74,314 per donor record. Those means sit far above high-volume professional labels that post similar headline dollars on tens of thousands of lines.
The repeat rate is about 5 contributions per donor record, lower than many mid-frequency titles. The shape is fewer, larger itemizations rather than a thick stack of small gifts. The packet still has no median and no party split.
591 donor records is a thin census even by FEC occupation standards. Treat it as a count of contributor records that used this exact punctuation, not as a count of sitting presidents and chief executives.
Punctuation and ampersands split the title
PRESIDENT & CEO, PRESIDENT/CEO, CEO, and C.E.O. are neighboring keys. A donor who types a slash and periods lands here; a donor who types an ampersand lands elsewhere. Combining those strings without showing each source total would mix keys the bulk file kept apart. This page cites only $43,919,850, 2,920 contributions, and 591 donors.
FEC best-efforts rules do not force a controlled executive-title vocabulary. Software defaults, assistant-entered forms, and personal habit all produce parallel buckets. LobbyVault indexes the text that arrived.

Questions
- How much have PRESIDENT/C.E.O. donors given in FEC records?
- Itemizations that list PRESIDENT/C.E.O. sum to $43,919,850 across 2,920 contributions and 591 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter, not a combined executive-title cluster and not a licensed-officer census. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
- Why is the average gift so large for this occupation?
- Dividing $43,919,850 by 2,920 itemizations yields about $15,041 per contribution, and dividing by 591 donors yields about $74,314 per donor record. Those means reflect a small line count relative to the dollars. They are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution.
- Does this total include CEO or PRESIDENT & CEO?
- No. CEO, C.E.O., PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT & CEO, and PRESIDENT/CEO are separate occupation strings. This page covers PRESIDENT/C.E.O. only: $43,919,850, 2,920 contributions, and 591 donors. Mixing keys without naming each source total changes the unit. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
- Does listing PRESIDENT/C.E.O. prove the donor ran a public company?
- No. Occupation is self-reported free text. Private-company chiefs, nonprofit heads, and people using the dual title loosely can all appear. The FEC record does not verify corporate form. Quote the 2,920 contribution count and 591 donor records with the dollars.
Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X itemizations. Indexed on LobbyVault from FEC bulk data.
