Board Member political contributions from Michigan

Twenty-three Michigan donors, about one-eighth of Board Member dollars

Occupation BOARD MEMBER and donor state MI produce $997,700, 126 contributions, and 23 donors. The occupation hub is $8,057,226, 7,878 contributions, and 873 donors. Michigan’s dollar share is about 12.4% ($997,700 of $8,057,226). Its contribution share is about 1.6% (126 of 7,878). Its donor share is about 2.6% (23 of 873).

Dollar share is several times donor share and many times contribution share. Twenty-three people produced roughly one eighth of occupation dollars while making up about one thirty-eighth of occupation donors. One hundred twenty-six itemized gifts carried that dollar pile.

DIRECTOR, TRUSTEE, and CHAIRMAN are other keys if stored separately. They are not inside $8,057,226 unless grouped here. This packet does not claim that grouping.

A governance stamp, not a verified board seat

BOARD MEMBER is typed on the receipt. FEC.gov does not verify a corporate board, a nonprofit board, a school board, or a bank board. Eight hundred seventy-three national donors used the string. People who typed DIRECTOR or TRUSTEE sit in other occupation totals if those strings are separate slugs.

Seven thousand eight hundred seventy-eight contributions from 873 donors nationwide is about 9 itemized gifts per donor. Michigan’s 126 contributions from 23 donors is about 5 gifts per donor. Receipt frequency is lower in the Michigan cell; gift size is much higher.

Mean gift size among twenty-three people

Dividing $997,700 by 126 contributions yields about $7,918 per gift. Dividing by 23 donors yields about $43,378 per donor. Nationally, $8,057,226 divided by 7,878 contributions is about $1,023 per gift. The Michigan mean is several times the national occupation mean. A few large itemized gifts among 23 people explain the cell.

Donor state MI is the address on the receipt. Recipients need not be Michigan committees. This join does not name companies and does not split party.

Twenty-three Michigan donors produced 126 contributions, about 5 itemized gifts per person, versus about 9 nationally. Frequency is lower. Amount carries the 12.4% dollar share: about $7,918 per gift versus about $1,023 nationally. One hundred twenty-six lines are 1.6% of 7,878 national contributions—thin volume, heavy dollars.

What 12.4% does not mean

Michigan’s share of Board Member-coded dollars is a table split. It is not evidence that Michigan caused board-member giving, that board members as a class funded a party, or that twenty-three people represent Michigan’s corporate boards. Occupation and state travel together on receipts. Causation is not in the join.

Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized money and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Individual receipts are not corporate treasury gifts.

PRESIDENT AND CEO in Idaho and EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR in the District are other leadership-adjacent titles in this packet wave. BOARD MEMBER is not a parent of those strings. Individual receipts are not corporate PACs and not company treasuries.

Occupation hub versus this concentrated Michigan cell

Board Member donations carries the $8,057,226 national occupation total. Michigan campaign finance carries all MI-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties place this 23-donor cell beside other occupation-state pages so 12.4% of BOARD MEMBER dollars is not mistaken for 12.4% of Michigan statewide giving.

The occupation hub still holds $7,059,526 outside Michigan ($8,057,226 minus $997,700). Use Board Member donations for that remainder. Michigan campaign finance holds every other MI-coded title. This page holds only BOARD MEMBER × MI.

Twenty-three donors and 126 lines

One hundred twenty-six contributions produced $997,700. That is a short receipt list carrying about 12.4% of an $8,057,226 occupation. Twenty-three unique donors are 2.6% of 873. With n this small, a few large itemized gifts are the cell. They are not Michigan’s corporate boards.

The remaining $7,059,526 sits outside Michigan. Use Board Member donations for that remainder. Individual receipts stay personal; they are not company treasuries.

Does Board Member mean corporate directors in Michigan?

BOARD MEMBER is the occupation text as entered on itemized filings. It can cover corporate, nonprofit, and public boards. FEC aggregates do not verify seats. The 23 Michigan donors and 873 national donors are people whose records used that title.

How can 23 donors be 12% of the occupation’s dollars?

Is this money given to Michigan candidates?

Not necessarily. MI is the donor state on the contribution. The $997,700 can be received by any FEC-filing committee. This page does not break receipts by office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.
