EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR joined to District of Columbia donor state

Occupation EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR and donor state DC produce $1,507,367, 4,720 contributions, and 247 donors. The occupation without the District filter is $31,486,128, 123,461 contributions, and 6,540 donors. The District hub without this title mixes every other DC-coded occupation.

D.C.’s dollar share is about 4.8% ($1,507,367 of $31,486,128). Its contribution share is about 3.8% (4,720 of 123,461). Its donor share is about 3.8% (247 of 6,540). Dollar, contribution, and donor shares sit in a narrow band. That is a different shape from cells where a handful of donors dominate dollars.

Two hundred forty-seven unique donors is a relatively thick unique-person count for a $1.5 million cell. The join is not sparse. It is a mid-share slice of a large national occupation.

A title used across nonprofits, associations, and firms

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR is a common leadership stamp. Filers at charities, trade associations, PACs, and private organizations all use it. FEC.gov does not split those employers on the occupation aggregate. DIRECTOR, CEO, and PRESIDENT AND CEO are other keys. They are not inside $31,486,128 unless grouped here, which this packet does not claim.

One hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred sixty-one contributions from 6,540 donors nationwide is about 19 itemized gifts per donor. D.C.’s 4,720 contributions from 247 donors is about 19 gifts per donor as well. Receipt frequency in the District cell matches the national occupation pace.

District of Columbia as donor address, not workplace proof

DC on the receipt is the donor’s reported state. It is not proof the executive director’s organization is headquartered in the District, and it is not proof the recipient committee is a D.C. committee. Associate donors in the District of Columbia are a neighboring occupation join; their $1,229,853 is not inside this cell.

Dividing $1,507,367 by 4,720 contributions yields about $319 per gift. Dividing by 247 donors yields about $6,103 per donor. Nationally, $31,486,128 divided by 123,461 contributions is about $255 per gift. The District mean is modestly higher. Means are not medians.

Two hundred forty-seven District donors are 3.8% of 6,540, matching the 3.8% contribution share. The 4.8% dollar share is only a point higher. Unlike Idaho’s six-donor PRESIDENT AND CEO cell, this Executive Director join is not a handful of oversized receipts carrying the state slice. It is a mid-size unique-person list with a modest mean-gift premium (about $319 versus about $255 nationally).

Proximity to federal offices is not a motive

Many Executive Director titles appear on D.C. filings because people live or keep an address there. That geographic fact is not evidence of influence, client work, or a preference among federal candidates. The join reports occupation × state. It does not assign party or issue.

Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation of title and District address is not causation.

ASSOCIATE donors in the District of Columbia share a donor-state code and a different title. $1,229,853 in that join is not inside $1,507,367. Government Relations donors in Maryland sit across the state line with another title. Geography near federal offices does not merge those occupation keys.

Hubs on each side of the join

Executive Director donations carries the $31,486,128 national occupation total. District of Columbia campaign finance carries all DC-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties keep this pair beside other District titles without folding their dollars into $1,507,367.

The occupation hub still holds $29,978,761 outside the District ($31,486,128 minus $1,507,367). Most Executive Director-coded dollars are not DC-coded. This page isolates the overlap. It does not describe the occupation’s typical state, and it does not describe the District’s typical occupation.

Questions

How much have Executive Director donors in D.C. given?
FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Executive Director and state District of Columbia total $1,507,367, from 4,720 contributions and 247 donors. Nationwide, Executive Director-coded receipts are $31,486,128 from 123,461 contributions and 6,540 donors. D.C. is about 4.8% of those dollars.
Does Executive Director mean nonprofit leaders in Washington, D.C.?
The occupation string is EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR as entered on itemized filings. FEC aggregates do not verify employer type or 501(c) status. The 247 District donors and 6,540 national donors are people whose records used that title, not a census of association executives.
How does the D.C. share compare with donor count?
About 3.8% of Executive Director-coded contributions (4,720 of 123,461) and about 3.8% of donors (247 of 6,540) sit in this District join, alongside about 4.8% of the dollars ($1,507,367 of $31,486,128). The three shares are close relative to more concentrated cells.
Is this money given to District of Columbia candidates?
Not necessarily. DC is the donor state on the contribution. The $1,507,367 can be received by any FEC-filing committee. This page does not break receipts by office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
