Nationwide, FOUNDER-coded receipts total $62,143,456 across 18,800 contributions and 1,729 donors. New York holds about 5.6% of those dollars.

Founder and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation FOUNDER and donor state NY produce $3,466,309, 2,112 contributions, and 213 donors. The occupation hub is $62,143,456, 18,800 contributions, and 1,729 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 5.6%; contribution share about 11.2% (2,112 of 18,800); donor share about 12.3% (213 of 1,729). Donor share (about 12.3%) and contribution share (about 11.2%) run ahead of dollar share (about 5.6%). Two hundred thirteen New York donors produced 2,112 contributions totaling $3,466,309 inside a $62,143,456 occupation book.

PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER, CO-FOUNDER, CEO, and FOUNDER/CEO, if used, sit in other occupation hubs. Do not stack those strings onto this New York cell or the $62,143,456 national FOUNDER total. Do not stack FOUNDER with PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER, CO-FOUNDER, or CEO into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

213 New York donors produced 2,112 contributions, about 9.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 10.9 rows per donor nationally (18,800 contributions from 1,729 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $1,641, against about $3,306 nationwide. New York’s about 5.6% dollar share with about 12.3% of donors is a broader, smaller-mean slice of a large occupation label, not a handful of maxed-out gifts.

FOUNDER as a company-origin title

FOUNDER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify incorporation, equity, or whether the filer still holds the title. FOUNDER is the occupation string as stored. The $62,143,456 national total is FOUNDER only. 1,729 donors produced 18,800 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 18,800 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New York (NY). Eighteen thousand eight hundred national contributions from 1,729 donors make FOUNDER a large-dollar bucket ($62,143,456). This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York on the state side

213 New York donors produced 2,112 contributions totaling $3,466,309. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New York company, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,466,309.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only FOUNDER. The Founder occupation hub without New York still holds about 94.4% of the $62,143,456. New York’s campaign-finance hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. FOUNDER is only this filter. Florida and California Founder ties, if they exist, are other state cells — do not add them here.

What the Founder–New York join is not

This page does not count startups, rank founders, or claim that Founder-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. FOUNDER is not PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER even when a workplace used both titles on the same card.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FOUNDER is not a company-registry extract. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names and incorporation dates are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Founder filter

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national FOUNDER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded FOUNDER in every other state combined. That remainder ($58,677,147) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 213 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 2,112 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,466,309 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the FOUNDER national total, drops a key. Two hundred thirteen New York donors holding about 5.6% of occupation dollars is the fact to keep next to the $3,466,309 headline. Most of the $62,143,456 FOUNDER book sits in other states.

Related tables

Founder donations holds the $62,143,456 national occupation total. New York campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER remains a separate occupation key.
