CFO occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

$3,638,078 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for occupation CFO. FEC.gov aggregates count 2,946 contributions from 1,466 donors. The same string totals $36,233,003 across every cycle in this table, so 2012 holds about 10.0% of the occupation bucket. The word on the form is a self-reported occupation, not a finance-officer license file. This page joins that string to cycle 2012.

Key figures

  • $3,638,078 joins the CFO occupation string to the 2012 FEC cycle.
  • 2,946 contributions from 1,466 donors produced that cell.
  • 2012 is about 10.0% of the occupation’s $36,233,003 lifetime total.
  • CFO is a filer-entered title, not a finance-officer license file.

CFO as occupation, 2012 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string CFO. The other is the 2012 federal election cycle. The match is $3,638,078, built from 2,946 contributions and 1,466 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. One-tenth of the occupation stack in 2012, on 1,466 donor IDs, is a presidential-year chapter with a mid-range mean. The 2014 CFO cell in this slice is a different cycle key with a smaller dollar total.

Average contribution is about $1,235; average per donor is about $2,482. Those means are arithmetic on the 2012 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 2.0 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

Three letters that are not the spelled-out title

CFO is the three-letter occupation string. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, if stored separately, is another hub. CONTROLLER and TREASURER are other titles. The FEC does not verify officer filings or CPA licenses from this field.

$36,233,003 is every cycle combined for CFO. $3,638,078 in 2012 is about 10.0% of that stack. Other windows hold about 90.0% ($32,594,925). A cycle cell at 10.0% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CONTROLLER, and TREASURER are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

1,466 donors and 2,946 gifts in 2012

1,466 unique donors against 2,946 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2012 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $3,638,078.

A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode CFO into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2012 cycle hub.

About 10.0% of a $36.2 million occupation stack

10.0% is $3,638,078 divided by $36,233,003. Reading only 2012 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 10.0%. The leftover outside 2012 is $32,594,925. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.

Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2012 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $36,233,003 is shared.

What a CFO–2012 join cannot claim

This page does not identify companies and does not convert occupation text into a corporate contribution. It does not claim that campaign gifts funded Treasury or IRS awards.

The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $3,638,078, 2,946 contributions, and 1,466 donors for CFO in 2012. Cite $36,233,003 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related CFO and 2012 tables

CFO donations is the occupation hub behind $36,233,003. The 2012 election cycle page is the cycle census across occupations. All occupations lists other strings. All FEC ties collects other occupation-cycle pairs from the same two fields. Live hubs override this snapshot. If a hub disagrees with $3,638,078, 2,946 gifts, or 1,466 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string CFO attached to $3,638,078 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2012. Keep 2,946 contributions and 1,466 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether CFO in 2012 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $36,233,003 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Questions

How much did CFO-labeled donors give in 2012?
The CFO grouping’s 2012 cell is $3,638,078 in itemized individual contributions, from 2,946 contributions and 1,466 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $36,233,003 all-cycle occupation total.
Is Chief Financial Officer spelled out included?
No. This cell is the self-reported string CFO matched to cycle 2012. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CONTROLLER, and TREASURER are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the CFO occupation hub for other cycles and the 2012 cycle hub for other strings.
What share of CFO FEC money fell in 2012?
About 10.0%. $3,638,078 divided by $36,233,003 is the 2012 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 90.0% ($32,594,925) on the occupation hub. See the CFO occupation hub for other cycles and the 2012 cycle hub for other strings.
Are these corporate PAC gifts?
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. $3,638,078 is itemized receipts tagged CFO in 2012, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
