How much did Microsoft Corporation donors give in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $502,085 in itemized individual contributions for the Microsoft Corporation grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 511 contributions and 64 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $8,998,472 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of Microsoft Corporation FEC money is 2014?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,998,472. The 2014 cell of $502,085 is about 5.6% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.4% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Microsoft Corporation hub holds other cycles; the 2014 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current Microsoft Corporation employees or licensees?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Microsoft Corporation. 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 $502,085 from 64 donors on 511 contribution lines.

Microsoft Corporation and the 2014 FEC election cycle

$502,085 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Microsoft Corporation. FEC.gov aggregates count 511 contributions from 64 donors. The same string totals $8,998,472 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 5.6% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not Microsoft’s PAC and not a software-revenue total.

Microsoft Corporation as stored text, 2014 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Microsoft Corporation and 2014 — sum to $502,085. 511 itemized contributions and 64 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 Microsoft Corporation hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Microsoft Corporation is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 64 donors and 511 lines in 2014 matched that word. People who typed Microsoft without Corporation or a subsidiary name sit in other buckets. MICROSOFT, MICROSOFT CORP, and MSFT are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Microsoft Corporation as stored.

5.6% of the Microsoft Corporation roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,998,472. The 2014 slice of $502,085 is about 5.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.4%. Treating 2014 as the Microsoft Corporation 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 $8,998,472 as the denominator for the 5.6% 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 $8,998,472. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

511 contributions from 64 donors

Dividing $502,085 by 511 contributions yields about $983 per itemized gift. Dividing by 64 donors yields about $7,845 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 8.0. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim. The Corporation suffix is part of this stored key.

64 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 Microsoft Corporation 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. Microsoft Corporation 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 Microsoft Corporation to drop the year. Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $502,085 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 511 contributions, the 64 unique donors, and the 5.6% share of $8,998,472. Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 64 donors, and 511 contributions.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $502,085. MICROSOFT, MICROSOFT CORP, and MSFT are other keys. People who typed Microsoft without Corporation or a subsidiary name are counted elsewhere unless the treasurer grouped them to this exact string. The Corporation suffix is part of this stored key. The page is not Microsoft’s PAC and not a software-revenue total.

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Microsoft Corporation 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 $502,085 cell.

Citing Microsoft Corporation and 2014 together

Start with $502,085, then Microsoft Corporation 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Microsoft Corporation, 2014, $502,085, 511 contributions, 64 donors, 5.6% of $8,998,472, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 5.6% share, the 64-donor count, and the $983 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.
