Educator donations in the 2014 FEC cycle
Filers who listed Educator itemized $793,779 in FEC individual contributions in the 2014 midterm cycle — 1,386 receipts from 593 donors. Teacher and professor are neighboring occupation strings with their own cells. The occupation string EDUCATOR sums to $20.0 million ($20,047,617) across harvested cycles; this 2014 cell is 4.0% of that sum. FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed. This page is the join of the Educator occupation table and the 2014 election-cycle table, not a restatement of either hub.
Key figures
- Educator × 2014: $793,779.
- 1,386 receipts from 593 donors.
- 4.0% of the $20,047,617 EDUCATOR total.
- Filer-entered occupation; teacher-union and education-association PAC filings are a different table.
Educator × 2014
EDUCATOR plus cycle 2014 equals $793,779. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2014. Teacher, professor, school administrator, and education are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an NCES teacher census, a union membership roll, or a district payroll. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.
Parent hubs: Educator donations at /occupations/educator/ and the 2014 election cycle at /election-cycles/2014/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $793,779 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.
Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Educator in 2014 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $793,779. K-12 versus higher-ed versus nonprofit education work is unpublished for Educator in 2014. The occupation page and the 2014 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.
EDUCATOR, not teacher or professor
$20.0 million ($20,047,617) belongs to the exact string EDUCATOR across harvested cycles. It is not an NCES teacher census, a union membership roll, or a district payroll. People who wrote nearby wording — teacher, professor, school administrator, and education — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2014 slice is 4.0% of that title bucket. Share of EDUCATOR is not share of all 2014 receipts.
Amended individual contribution reports can move $793,779. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $20,047,617. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Educator donations and the live 2014 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $793,779.
1,386 educator receipts in a midterm
593 donors and 1,386 receipts — about 2.3 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $573; mean per donor about $1,339. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 593 donors makes this a mid-size occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.
Repeat gifts add receipts. 1,386 is a line count, not 593 one-time gifts; about two lines per donor, which is consistent with repeat gifts inside the same two-year window. K-12 versus higher-ed versus nonprofit education work is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by EDUCATOR. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $793,779.
Generic educator versus teacher keys and PACs
Cite $793,779 as Educator in 2014. Cite $20,047,617 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add teacher-union and education-association PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $793,779 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 4.0%.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode EDUCATOR into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a midterm-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.
How to cite educator money in 2014
A clean footnote names occupation EDUCATOR, election cycle 2014, $793,779 in itemized individual contributions, 1,386 receipts, and 593 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $573 per line and $1,339 per donor in the cell. If the live Educator donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,386 as unique workers in the trade.
This URL exists because two filters meet. Educator donations rolls every cycle into one EDUCATOR running total. The 2014 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2014 total. Only the Educator × 2014 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 1,386 receipts and $793,779. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
