Emory University and the 2012 FEC election cycle

2012 filtered to Emory University

Apply the Emory University filter to the 2012 election cycle and the remaining money is $324,164. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 303 contributions and 107 donors. The overlay at the cycle path lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.

Emory University is university employer text. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 107 unique donors matched the stored string in 2012. Repeat gifts can raise 303 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The all-cycle Emory University total of $4,791,790 still includes other windows. Citing $4,791,790 as if it were 2012 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2012 hub as if it were Emory University-only would overstate the year.

6.8% in 2012, 93.2% elsewhere

6.8% of stored Emory University money is tagged 2012 ($324,164). 93.2% is not ($4,467,626). Both percentages use $4,791,790 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The industry hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2012 so $4,791,790 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Lifetime Emory University storage is $4,791,790. Subtract the 2012 cell and $4,467,626 remains. That remainder is 93.2% of the grouping. 6.8% is the 2012 share. Both percentages use packet facts only.

Itemized count versus unique donors

Contribution count (303) and donor count (107) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $324,164 is their dollar sum.

If a searcher wants names, the overlay is the next stop. This JSON file reports 107 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract. Contributor identities (107) are not a headcount of a firm or a profession. Repeat itemized gifts explain 303 lines from fewer identities. About 2.8 lines per donor is the mean on this packet.

Dropping the Emory University filter

Dropping the Emory University filter returns the reader to the 2012 election cycle index. That index is not $324,164. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 303 contributions, 107 donors, $324,164.

No cycle-wide denominator is in the packet, so Emory University cannot be ranked as a percent of 2012 national itemized giving. 6.8% remains a share of $4,791,790 only. Open the 2012 election cycle to see every grouping that year. This file does not copy that list. Emory University remains one cell: $324,164, 303 contributions, 107 donors.

Self-reported fields and missing tables

Missing from the packet: recipient names, party split, unitemized totals, PAC disbursements, and any USAspending figure. Present: $324,164, 303 contributions, 107 donors, $4,791,790 lifetime, cycle 2012, string EMORY UNIVERSITY.

Self-reported fields create split spellings. Researchers who need a firm-level view must inspect neighboring keys on the industry index rather than assume $4,791,790 is complete for a legal entity. Federal award files can reuse famous names. Those files are not FEC itemized individual contributions. This join does not claim that $324,164 funded contracts or grants.

What to carry forward from this packet

Carry forward $324,164, 303, 107, 6.8%, $4,791,790, and the string EMORY UNIVERSITY. Leave behind invented recipients, party shares, and contract dollars. The source note is FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle.

$1,070 per contribution and $3,030 per donor are derived means. Label them as such. University employer text remains the right description of the grouping. If live hubs disagree with $324,164, the overlay and FEC.gov control. This snapshot recorded 303 contributions and 107 donors for EMORY UNIVERSITY in 2012. Restating the join without new numbers: Emory University in 2012 is $324,164 from 303 itemized individual contributions and 107 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,791,790 across cycles, so 2012 is about 6.8% and other windows hold $4,467,626 (93.2%). The grouping is university employer text, not a campus PAC, Emory Healthcare as a sibling string, or a university treasury. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $1,070; mean per donor about $3,030; about 2.8 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2012 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $324,164.
