Google contributions received by ACTBLUE

Google employer text meeting ActBlue as a conduit

GOOGLE is the grouped employer string. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224, a conduit that reports earmarked individual contributions to downstream candidates and committees. This page is the overlap of those two dimensions: itemized receipts whose employer field grouped to GOOGLE and whose recipient committee in this aggregate is ACTBLUE. The $9,379,318 figure is that intersection.

A conduit total is easy to misread. It is not a donation to ActBlue as an end recipient in the same sense as a candidate committee. It is also not a finding that Google the company bundled the gifts. Filers listed GOOGLE; the receipts routed through C00401224. FEC employer fields do not audit employment at Alphabet, Google LLC, or a predecessor name.

People who typed GOOGLE LLC, ALPHABET, or YOUTUBE may sit in other industry keys if stored that way. This join stays on GOOGLE as indexed.

One-third of the Google grouping, not the whole map

The GOOGLE employer grouping shows $28,141,117 in itemized individual money. The ActBlue cell is $9,379,318, or about 33% of that total. Two-thirds of GOOGLE-coded individual receipts went to committees other than C00401224 — candidate PACs, party committees, or other conduits. Those dollars remain on the industry hub.

A one-third share is large in dollars and still a minority of the employer string. Opening only this tie would hide the other $18.8 million of the grouping (the remainder after subtracting $9,379,318 from $28,141,117). The industry page is the denominator.

70,995 contributions and a small mean

ACTBLUE received $9,379,318 from GOOGLE-coded receipts across 70,995 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $132 per contribution. High line counts through a conduit often reflect many modest itemized earmarks rather than a few seven-figure checks.

Seventy thousand lines are not 70,000 unique Google employees. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The ActBlue committee overlay includes every employer, not only GOOGLE.

Tech employer strings versus federal spending

Google-related entities appear in other government datasets, including federal contracts. Those USAspending obligations are not these FEC gifts. This page does not claim that ActBlue earmarks funded agency awards, or that awards funded earmarks. Two ledgers, one brand name.

The employer field can lag a job change or a subsidiary rename. Correlation between a tech employer string and a conduit committee is a reporting pattern, not causation of election or procurement outcomes.

Hubs that keep the axes separate

The Google industry page keeps the $28,141,117 grouping and its other recipients. The ACTBLUE committee page keeps C00401224 volume from every employer. All industries ranks sibling tech and contractor keys. All FEC ties lists other employer-committee cells so this conduit join is not mistaken for Google PAC spending or for independent expenditures.

The 70,995-line count through a conduit is the feature that separates this join from thin seven-figure cells. About $132 per contribution is $9,379,318 divided by 70,995. That scale check belongs next to the 33% share so readers do not treat ActBlue as Google's only destination or as a small-dollar trivia item. Two-thirds of the $28,141,117 grouping still sits elsewhere.

Conduit math versus employer math

ActBlue as C00401224 in this aggregate is the committee side of the join. Downstream earmarks to candidates, if they occurred, are not listed here as separate cells. The $9,379,318 is the GOOGLE-coded amount attributed to that committee ID. Researchers who need the candidate list have to leave this tie page for the committee overlay or for individual receipts. This page keeps the employer-committee intersection.

GOOGLE LLC, ALPHABET, and YOUTUBE remain other keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $28,141,117 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Unitemized gifts never appear. Independent expenditures never appear. USAspending obligations that mention Google never appear. Quote $9,379,318 as 33% of $28,141,117 into C00401224, with 70,995 itemized lines, and stop there.

Questions

How much did Google-coded donors give through ActBlue?

FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions show $9,379,318 grouped to GOOGLE and received by ACTBLUE (C00401224). That join covers 70,995 contributions. The GOOGLE employer total across all committees is $28,141,117. These figures are not independent expenditures.

What share of Google FEC individual money went to ActBlue?

About 33% of the $28,141,117 GOOGLE grouping is in this join: $9,379,318 to C00401224. The remaining two-thirds went to other committees. A one-third share describes conduit overlap, not Google corporate giving.

Is ActBlue the final recipient of the $9,379,318?

ActBlue is the committee ID in this aggregate. Conduit filings often earmark gifts onward. This page reports the employer-committee join as stored, not a downstream candidate list. It does not treat the total as Google’s treasury contribution.

Does this include Google’s company PAC or independent expenditures?

No. The source is itemized individual contributions grouped by employer/industry and recipient committee. Company PAC documents and independent expenditures are other FEC categories. Use the committee hub for C00401224 for receipt types outside this employer filter.
