Ford Motor Company and the 2014 FEC election cycle

$569,974 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Ford Motor Company. FEC.gov aggregates count 1,999 contributions from 284 donors. The same string totals $5,741,013 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 9.9% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not Ford’s PAC and not an auto-assembly NAICS total.

Key figures

  • Ford Motor Company × 2014 is $569,974 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 1,999 contributions from 284 donors.
  • 2014 is about 9.9% of the grouping’s $5,741,013 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not Ford’s PAC and not an auto-assembly NAICS total.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Ford Motor Company as stored text, 2014 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Ford Motor Company and 2014 — sum to $569,974. 1,999 itemized contributions and 284 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. 2014 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Ford Motor Company hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Ford Motor Company is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 284 donors and 1,999 lines in 2014 matched that word. People who typed Ford alone, a dealer name, or Ford Motor Co without Company sit in other buckets. FORD, FORD MOTOR, and FORD MOTOR CO are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Ford Motor Company as stored.

9.9% of the Ford Motor Company roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,741,013. The 2014 slice of $569,974 is about 9.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 90.1%. Treating 2014 as the Ford Motor Company FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $5,741,013 as the denominator for the 9.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $5,741,013. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

1,999 contributions from 284 donors

Dividing $569,974 by 1,999 contributions yields about $285 per itemized gift. Dividing by 284 donors yields about $2,007 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 7.0. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim. Dealership strings and the automaker string are separate unless they grouped here.

284 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Ford Motor Company 2014 holds the rows. Recipients can include candidate committees, party committees, leadership PACs, and Super PACs; this join does not split those buckets in the headline facts.

2014 as the cycle dimension

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Ford Motor Company is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Ford Motor Company to drop the year. Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $569,974 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday.

That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 1,999 contributions, the 284 unique donors, and the 9.9% share of $5,741,013. Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 284 donors, and 1,999 contributions.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $569,974. FORD, FORD MOTOR, and FORD MOTOR CO are other keys. People who typed Ford alone, a dealer name, or Ford Motor Co without Company are counted elsewhere unless the treasurer grouped them to this exact string. Dealership strings and the automaker string are separate unless they grouped here. The page is not Ford’s PAC and not an auto-assembly NAICS total.

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Ford Motor Company is the spelling as committees stored it. Researchers who want a combined family of neighboring labels must recode after export. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not attach a motive, a client matter, or a federal award to the $569,974 cell.

Citing Ford Motor Company and 2014 together

Start with $569,974, then Ford Motor Company 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Ford Motor Company, 2014, $569,974, 1,999 contributions, 284 donors, 9.9% of $5,741,013, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 9.9% share, the 284-donor count, and the $285 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control. The join exists because two tables meet; it is not a restatement of one hub.

Questions

How much did Ford Motor Company donors give in 2014?
FEC.gov aggregates show $569,974 in itemized individual contributions for the Ford Motor Company grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 1,999 contributions and 284 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $5,741,013 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.
What share of Ford Motor Company FEC money is 2014?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,741,013. The 2014 cell of $569,974 is about 9.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 90.1% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Ford Motor Company hub holds other cycles; the 2014 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Does this include only current Ford Motor Company employees or licensees?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string Ford Motor Company. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2014 only, totaling $569,974 from 284 donors on 1,999 contribution lines.
Where is the overlay for the Ford Motor Company 2014 join?
Open Ford Motor Company 2014 for the cycle overlay, Ford Motor Company for the grouping hub, and the 2014 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
