How much did Google donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $264,241 in itemized individual contributions for the Google grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 216 contributions and 87 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $28,141,117 all-cycle figure. Filings remain on FEC.gov. Quote packet facts only.

What share of Google FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $28,141,117. The 2010 cell of $264,241 is about 0.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 99.1% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Google hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Google’s PAC or an official account?

No. $264,241 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Google. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a technology NAICS total and not a Google PAC.

Where is the overlay for the Google 2010 join?

Open Google 2010 for the cycle overlay, Google for the grouping hub, and the 2010 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. Original filings remain on FEC.gov.

Google crossed with 2010

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Google and 2010 — sum to $264,241. 216 itemized contributions and 87 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. GOOGLE is grouped employer text. The 2010 filter keeps receipts in that cycle whose employer field collapsed to this key. It does not merge GOOGLE INC, later Alphabet labels, or job titles without this employer.

Neither the Google hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Google hub is the year index for this string. GOOGLE INC, ALPHABET, and SOFTWARE ENGINEER occupation titles stay on their own keys if stored separately. Federal tech awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.

0.9% of the Google roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $28.1 million ($28,141,117). The 2010 slice of $264,241 is about 0.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 99.1%. Treating 2010 as the Google FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $28,141,117 as the denominator for the 0.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $28,141,117.

216 contributions from 87 donors

Dividing $264,241 by 216 contributions yields about $1,223 per itemized gift. Dividing by 87 donors yields about $3,037 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.5. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

87 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 Google 2010 holds the rows.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Google is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Google to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $264,241 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 216 contributions, the 87 unique donors, and the 0.9% share of $28,141,117.

Limits of the Google × 2010 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $264,241. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a technology NAICS total and not a Google PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 87 donors, and 216 contributions. GOOGLE INC, GOOGLE LLC, ALPHABET, and generic SOFTWARE ENGINEER occupation strings are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Google and 2010 together

Start with $264,241, then Google 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Google, 2010, $264,241, 216 contributions, 87 donors, 0.9% of $28,141,117, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 0.9% share, the 87-donor count, and the $1,223 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.
