Architect political money in the 2010 election cycle
$967,922 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation ARCHITECT and the 2010 election cycle. That cell covers 1,419 contributions from 739 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $31,910,255, so 2010 is 3.0% of the labeled roll. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not an AIA membership file, a state license census, or a firm PAC.

Architect as occupation, 2010 as the cycle
Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation ARCHITECT and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $967,922, 1,419 contributions, and 739 donors. FEC.gov does not verify professional licenses. Architect is whatever filers typed on the receipt. The occupation hub is $31,910,255 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2010 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.
2010’s dollar share is 3.0% ($967,922 of $31,910,255). The remainder, $30,942,333, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Hundreds of donors and a 3.0% year share mean 2010 is a modest slice of a large occupation roll. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $967,922.
A large Architect occupation total across cycles
$31,910,255 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2010. Architecture, Designer, and named studio employers are other keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $31,910,255 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.
Open Architect donations for the $31,910,255 roll. Open the 2010 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.
739 donors and a sub-thousand mean gift
Dividing $967,922 by 1,419 contributions yields about $682 per gift. Dividing by 739 donors yields about $1,310 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 1.9 (1,419 ÷ 739). Those ratios describe this string in 2010, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.
739 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2010. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 739 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2010 receipts beside this cell.
What 3.0% of Architect dollars is not
A 3.0% share of Architect-coded dollars from 2010 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.
Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2010 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $967,922 as itemized individual receipts tagged ARCHITECT in 2010, source FEC.gov, and stop there.
How to cite Architect × 2010
A complete claim names Architect and 2010, then $967,922, 1,419 contributions, 739 donors, and 3.0% of $31,910,255, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 739 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Architect and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $682 and mean per donor $1,310 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.
Occupation hub, cycle hub, and firm-name rows
The occupation hub still holds $30,942,333 outside 2010. Most of the $31,910,255 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Architecture, Designer, and named studio employers are other keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of ARCHITECT on this page. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 1.9. That ratio is 1,419 divided by 739, not a measure of turnout.
Repeat the four numbers together: $967,922 in the 2010 cycle, 1,419 contributions, 739 donors, and 3.0% of $31,910,255. That sentence is the join. It is not a license census and not a federal award total.
Questions
- How much did Architect-tagged donors give in 2010?
- The join records $967,922 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Architect in the 2010 FEC cycle, from 1,419 contributions and 739 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $31,910,255, so 2010 is 3.0% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
- Does this count every architect who donated in 2010?
- No. The 739 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to ARCHITECT in 2010. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $967,922 on 1,419 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.
- What share of Architect occupation money is the 2010 cycle?
- 3.0%: $967,922 of $31,910,255. The remaining $30,942,333 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $967,922 divided by $31,910,255, not a ranking of civic engagement and not a peak-year list. Other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder.
- Where are the live Architect and 2010 tables?
- Architect donations carries the $31,910,255 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle hub places Architect beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Architect × 2010 intersection only.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
