Community Volunteer political contributions from Kansas

The Community Volunteer–Kansas intersection

Occupation COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER and donor state KS produce $688,448, 541 contributions, and 111 donors. The occupation hub is $9,995,077, 12,698 contributions, and 1,027 donors. Kansas’s dollar share is about 6.9%; contribution share about 4.3% (541 of 12,698); donor share about 10.8% (111 of 1,027). One hundred eleven Kansas donors sit inside 1,027 national COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER donors — near Missouri’s 103. Rows (541 of 12,698) run ahead of Missouri’s 295-row cell, while dollars ($688,448) sit below Missouri’s $775,612.

VOLUNTEER, PHILANTHROPIST, and RETIRED, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER with VOLUNTEER or PHILANTHROPIST into a single Kansas professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

111 Kansas donors produced 541 contributions, about 4.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.4 rows per donor nationally (12,698 contributions from 1,027 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Kansas cell is about $1,273, against about $787 nationwide. Kansas’s $688,448 is address-coded itemized money, not a United Way or community-foundation total. Do not add Missouri Community Volunteer dollars to this cell.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER as a filer-entered activity label

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a 501(c) role, a board seat, or hours volunteered. The $9,995,077 national total is COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER only. 1,027 donors produced 12,698 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 12,698 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Kansas (KS). The national occupation still holds $9,995,077. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state KS.

Kansas as donor state

111 Kansas donors produced 541 contributions totaling $688,448. Donor state KS is the address on the record, not proof of a Kansas license, and not a limit to Kansas candidates. KS is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Kansas nonprofit filing, and not a map of which campaigns received the $688,448.

The Kansas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to KS. This join is only COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER. The Community Volunteer occupation hub without Kansas still holds about 93.1% of the $9,995,077. Kansas’s state hub includes every occupation coded to KS. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER is only this filter.

What not to infer from Community Volunteer plus Kansas

This page does not count nonprofits, mix Missouri dollars into this cell, or claim that Community Volunteer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER is not VOLUNTEER and not HOMEMAKER. Those are other strings when they appear.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER is not a charity or board roster. Donor state KS is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Organization names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Community Volunteer filter

Subtract the Kansas dollars on this page from the national COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER in every other state combined. That remainder ($9,306,629) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 111 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 541 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $688,448 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Kansas dollars, or only the COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER national total, drops a key. One hundred eleven donors producing 541 contributions totaling $688,448 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Community Volunteer donations holds the $9,995,077 national occupation total. Kansas campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations.

The Missouri Community Volunteer tie in this slice uses the same occupation hub and a different state key.
