How much did Google donors give in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $568,444 in itemized individual contributions for the Google grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 402 contributions and 163 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $28,141,117 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of Google FEC money is 2014?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $28,141,117. The 2014 cell of $568,444 is about 2.0% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 98.0% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Google hub holds other cycles; the 2014 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current Google employees or licensees?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Google. 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 $568,444 from 163 donors on 402 contribution lines.

Where is the overlay for the Google 2014 join?

Open Google 2014 for the cycle overlay, Google 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.

Google and the 2014 FEC election cycle

$568,444 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Google. FEC.gov aggregates count 402 contributions from 163 donors. The same string totals $28,141,117 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 2.0% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not Alphabet’s PAC and not a search-advertising revenue total.

Key figures

Google × 2014 is $568,444 in itemized individual contributions.
The cell includes 402 contributions from 163 donors.
2014 is about 2.0% of the grouping’s $28,141,117 all-cycle total.
The label is self-reported form text, not Alphabet’s PAC and not a search-advertising revenue total.
FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Google as stored text, 2014 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Google and 2014 — sum to $568,444. 402 itemized contributions and 163 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 Google hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Google is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 163 donors and 402 lines in 2014 matched that word. People who typed Alphabet, YouTube, Google LLC, or ENGINEER without the company sit in other buckets. GOOGLE INC, ALPHABET, ALPHABET INC, and YOUTUBE are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Google as stored.

2.0% of the Google roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $28,141,117. The 2014 slice of $568,444 is about 2.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 98.0%. Treating 2014 as the Google 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 $28,141,117 as the denominator for the 2.0% 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 $28,141,117. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

402 contributions from 163 donors

Dividing $568,444 by 402 contributions yields about $1,414 per itemized gift. Dividing by 163 donors yields about $3,487 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.5. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim. 2014 is a midterm window; later Alphabet spellings sit on other pages.

163 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 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. Google 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 Google to drop the year. Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $568,444 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 402 contributions, the 163 unique donors, and the 2.0% share of $28,141,117. Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 163 donors, and 402 contributions.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $568,444. GOOGLE INC, ALPHABET, ALPHABET INC, and YOUTUBE are other keys. People who typed Alphabet, YouTube, Google LLC, or ENGINEER without the company are counted elsewhere unless the treasurer grouped them to this exact string. 2014 is a midterm window; later Alphabet spellings sit on other pages. The page is not Alphabet’s PAC and not a search-advertising revenue total.

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Google 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 $568,444 cell.

Citing Google and 2014 together

Start with $568,444, then Google 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Google, 2014, $568,444, 402 contributions, 163 donors, 2.0% 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 2.0% share, the 163-donor count, and the $1,414 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.
