Director occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Director as occupation, 2008 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string DIRECTOR. The other is the 2008 federal election cycle. The match is $5,504,000, built from 6,757 contributions and 3,535 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. 2008 is a presidential-year FEC window. 6,757 contributions from 3,535 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. DIRECTOR is a short status word. It can mean a nonprofit board, a corporate department, a school title, or a film credit. The FEC field does not split those uses. MANAGING DIRECTOR and EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR remain other occupation keys. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $5,504,000. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending.gov awards; this page does not treat campaign gifts as federal spending.

6.2% of $88,429,618 is $5,504,000. That arithmetic uses only the occupation total and the cycle total in this packet. It is not a forecast and not a party split. Recipient committees may be anywhere; cycle is the FEC even-year window, not the donor’s state.

DIRECTOR is not a sibling title

Director donations is the occupation hub: $88,429,618 ($88.4 million) across cycles from filers who typed DIRECTOR. Sibling strings (MANAGING DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, and BOARD DIRECTOR) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a corporate-board census, a film-credit list, or a nonprofit Form 990 officer file.

The 2008 cycle filter on Director receipts

The 2008 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Director. $5,504,000 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2008. It is not a 2010 midterm filter and not a later presidential cycle.

6,757 contributions from 3,535 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 1.9 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $815; mean per donor about $1,557. Those means are arithmetic on the 2008 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $5,504,000.

What the Director–2008 join is not

Matching Director with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Director donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a corporate-board census, a film-credit list, or a nonprofit Form 990 officer file.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. DIRECTOR is a short status word. It can mean a nonprofit board, a corporate department, a school title, or a film credit. The FEC field does not split those uses. MANAGING DIRECTOR and EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR remain other occupation keys. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $5,504,000 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked Director and 2008 tables

Director donations holds the $88,429,618 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Director. All occupations places DIRECTOR beside other titles without merging sibling strings (MANAGING DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, and BOARD DIRECTOR). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $5,504,000 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Director dollars ($88,429,618). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $5,504,000, 6,757 contributions, 3,535 donors, 6.2% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Director 2008 as a dollar-share slice

2008 accounts for 6.2% of the Director occupation total ($5,504,000 of $88,429,618). Most Director-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. $5.5 million is the same fact as $5,504,000 rounded to one decimal million, not a second extract. Do not add MANAGING DIRECTOR dollars into $5,504,000.

Researchers who need employer text or recipient committees should leave this join and open the Director donations table. The 2008 cycle page is the even-year inventory. FEC.gov remains the controlling filing if extracts diverge.
