Key figures

  • PSYCHOLOGIST itemizations sum to $32,154,906 from 230,892 contributions and 5,257 donors.
  • Repeat giving is about 44 lines per donor record; mean gift size is about $139.
  • The noun is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a licensing-board roster.
  • Quote the contribution count with the dollars so the high-repeat pattern is visible.

230,892 lines under $32.2 million

Mean contribution size is about $139, among the lower per-line means in this harvest band. Mean dollars per donor record is about $6,117. Repeat giving is about 44 itemizations per donor record—far above many executive titles with similar headline dollars.

The shape is frequent small itemizations from a mid-size donor pool. A citation that quotes only $32,154,906 hides that pattern. Quote the 230,892 contribution count with the dollars.

These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet has no median and no party split.

Psychologist is not psychiatrist and not a license roster

Occupation is self-reported free text. PSYCHOLOGIST is stored as an exact key. Nearby clinical titles remain other pages unless the bulk extract normalized them here. This guide cites only $32,154,906, 230,892 contributions, and 5,257 donors.

The FEC record does not verify a state psychology license. Researchers, counselors, retirees, and people using the noun loosely can appear. Cross-walking this page to a licensing board would overstate or understate the overlap.
