Community Volunteer political money — 2008 cycle

Community Volunteer as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $749,316, 613 contributions, and 286 donors. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER is a filer-entered occupation. It is not proof of unpaid status and not a charity’s donor list. The occupation hub is $9,995,077 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2008 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2008’s dollar share is 7.5% ($749,316 of $9,995,077). The remainder, $9,245,761, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 613 lines from 286 donors in a presidential cycle is a mid-scale cell, 7.5% of this occupation’s all-cycle 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 $749,316.

The Community Volunteer string across every cycle

$9,995,077 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2008. Volunteer, Homemaker, and Retired are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $9,995,077 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Community Volunteer donations for the $9,995,077 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. Homemaker and Retired are skipped junk-style labels on other pages. This page keeps the stored COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER string only.

286 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $749,316 by 613 contributions yields about $1,222 per gift. Dividing by 286 donors yields about $2,620 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.1 (613 ÷ 286). Those ratios describe this string in 2008, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

286 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2008. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 286 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2008 receipts beside this cell.

What 7.5% of Community Volunteer dollars is not

A 7.5% share of Community Volunteer-coded dollars from 2008 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 2008 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $749,316 as itemized individual receipts tagged COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER in 2008, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Community Volunteer × 2008

A complete claim names Community Volunteer and 2008, then $749,316, 613 contributions, 286 donors, and 7.5% of $9,995,077, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 286 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Community Volunteer and 2008—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,222 and mean per donor $2,620 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and Volunteer as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $9,245,761 outside 2008. Most of the $9,995,077 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. Volunteer, Homemaker, and Retired are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER on this page. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.1. That ratio is 613 divided by 286, not a measure of turnout.
