Microsoft contributions received by ACTBLUE

A software employer meeting a conduit committee

Microsoft is the grouped employer or occupation key. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to MICROSOFT and whose recipient is that committee. The $4,777,829 figure is the intersection.

63,178 contributions averaging about $76 ($4,777,829 ÷ 63,178) describe a high-volume employer-to-conduit cell with a two-digit mean gift. Sixty-three thousand one hundred seventy-eight lines averaging about $76 are consistent with many modest itemized conduit gifts, without proving earmark destinations. ActBlue is a conduit in FEC usage for many individual receipts; this page still reports the labeled recipient as ACTBLUE.

The join exists so the industry hub ($30,011,546) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00401224 is the FEC committee ID on this URL.

MICROSOFT as employer text

MICROSOFT is filer-entered text. MICROSOFT CORPORATION, MSFT, and a subsidiary legal name can sit in other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $30,011,546.

Staff who typed ENGINEER without Microsoft are on occupation hubs. This URL is Microsoft × ActBlue, not Microsoft × a candidate committee. Unique donors are not listed.

ACTBLUE (C00401224) as the recipient key

C00401224 is disclosed as ACTBLUE. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made. The $4,777,829 is Microsoft-coded individual receipts. Other employers giving to ACTBLUE appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the 63,178-line filter.

C00401224 received $4,777,829 from Microsoft-coded receipts. Investor × ActBlue in this slice is a different grouping on the same committee. Do not stack those ActBlue cells. Earmarked ultimate recipients, if itemized on other schedules, are not this headline total.

Sixteen percent of a $30.0 million grouping

About 15.9% of $30,011,546 is $4,777,829 to ACTBLUE. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that Microsoft as an entity directed the gifts. Most of the $30,011,546 Microsoft book went to other committees. A 15.9% ActBlue share is a slice, not an employer-wide preference.

The leftover $25,233,717 (84.1% of $30,011,546) went to other committees under the same Microsoft grouping, or sits outside this recipient filter. The Microsoft industry hub holds that remainder. The ACTBLUE page holds receipts whose employer field did not group to MICROSOFT.

A software brand is not a cloud-award ledger

Cloud, software, or other USAspending awards tagged to Microsoft entities are a different dataset. This join does not claim that $4,777,829 in itemized gifts funded federal work, or that federal work funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Two datasets can share a name without sharing a payment trail.

Cite $4,777,829, 63,178 contributions, $30,011,546, and C00401224. Keep both sides named: Microsoft as grouped text, ACTBLUE as recipient. Motive is outside the packet. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Amazon and other tech-employer Super PAC pages elsewhere are industry × Super PAC, not this industry × conduit type. Keep the committee name ACTBLUE in the citation.
