Board Member money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Board Member as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation BOARD MEMBER and the 2008 election cycle. The intersection is $358,744 ($358,744), 275 contributions, and 156 donors. 4.5% of Board Member occupation dollars ($8,057,226) fall in 2008. 2008 is a presidential-year governance-title cell with 275 receipts and 156 donors, a thinner donor set than many professional-title cells in the same year.

Board Member is a two-word governance title as typed, not a sitting-director recode. Nearby strings — DIRECTOR, MEMBER, CHAIRMAN, and TRUSTEE — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $358,744 or $8,057,226. Member without Board is a broader stamp; Chairman and Trustee remain other keys. The FEC file does not verify a current board seat, a public-company filing, or a 990 officer line.

The BOARD MEMBER string across cycles

On the occupation side, $8,057,226 ($8.1 million) is the Board Member total across cycles. The 2008 cell is 4.5% of that roll; the remaining $7,698,482 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Board Member is not proof of a named issuer and not a PAC of the organization. Board Member is not a 10-K director list, a Form 990 officer extract, or a nonprofit board census.

Open Board Member donations for the $8,057,226 roll. Open the 2008 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. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2008 cell, 275 itemized contributions map to 156 donors. That is about 1.8 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $1,305; dollars per donor average about $2,300. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2008 is a presidential-year FEC clock. Primaries, the general election, and leftover receipts from adjacent months can share the same even-year label. This packet does not split dollars by those stages or by party. The 2008 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Board Member row. 156 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2008, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $358,744.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $358,744 attached to 2008 and $8,057,226 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2008 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($7,698,482) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $358,744 with both nouns: Board Member and 2008.

What a Board Member cycle join cannot claim

Matching Board Member with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Board Member donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a 10-K director list, a Form 990 officer extract, or a nonprofit board census.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $358,744. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked board-member hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Board Member donations holds the $8,057,226 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Board Member. All occupations places BOARD MEMBER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (DIRECTOR, MEMBER, CHAIRMAN, and TRUSTEE). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $358,744 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Board Member dollars ($8,057,226). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $358,744, 275 contributions, 156 donors, 4.5% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $358,744; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $8,057,226. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Board Member-labeled donors give in 2008?

The Board Member grouping’s 2008 cell is $358,744 in itemized individual contributions, from 275 contributions and 156 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $8,057,226 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Board Member mean a corporate director?

The stored string is BOARD MEMBER. Corporate, nonprofit, school, and civic boards are not split. Director, Trustee, and Member are other keys. This join does not confirm a current seat or recode those titles into BOARD MEMBER. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Board Member in 2008 is $358,744 on 275 receipts from 156 donors.

What share of Board Member FEC money fell in 2008?

About 4.5%. $358,744 divided by $8,057,226 is the 2008 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $7,698,482 on the occupation hub. See the Board Member occupation hub for other cycles and the 2008 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Board Member 2008 money fund federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $358,744 is itemized receipts tagged BOARD MEMBER in 2008, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
