NEA contributions received by NEA ADVOCACY FUND

Matching initials on both sides of the join

NEA as an employer string and NEA ADVOCACY FUND as a committee name share initials. That visual match is not a legal identity. The employer grouping totals $42,454,178. Committee C00489815 received $42,177,053 of that grouping across 12 contributions—about 99.3% of the labeled employer total. The leftover is about $277,125 ($42,454,178 − $42,177,053) on other committees.

Twelve lines carrying $42,177,053 average about $3,514,754 per contribution. That shape is unlike a classroom-by-classroom PAC deduction file, which would show tens of thousands of small receipts. This cell looks like a small number of large itemized gifts coded to the NEA employer string. The packet does not name the twelve filers or confirm they are union officers, members, or neither.

NEA is three letters, not a membership census

NEA can mean National Education Association, a local affiliate, or another organization that uses the same initials. LobbyVault groups the letters as filed. Teachers who typed a school district, a local union number, or National Education Association spelled out sit in other keys. The $42,454,178 total is this abbreviation only.

Occupation strings such as TEACHER or EDUCATOR are separate dimensions. They are not added into this employer join. Doing so would invent a recode. The industry hub for NEA is the place to see other recipient committees that received the remaining $277,125.

NEA ADVOCACY FUND (C00489815)

C00489815 is disclosed as NEA ADVOCACY FUND. Super PAC independent expenditures that the fund may report are outside the $42,177,053 individual-receipt cell. The committee hub shows receipts from every employer, not only NEA-coded rows. Other education-related employer strings giving to the fund are not in these 12 lines.

A 99.3% overlap means the NEA employer hub and this tie will look almost the same on headline dollars. The 12-line count is the detail that still distinguishes the join: almost all of the string’s money, almost none of a mass-member receipt pattern in this aggregate.

Union-adjacent labels are not dues and not grants

These figures are not membership dues, not PAC payroll deductions itemized elsewhere, and not U.S. Department of Education awards. FEC individual contributions do not fund USAspending. A school district that appears in both an employer field and a grant file is still two datasets. Correlation is not causation.

Motive, collective-bargaining politics, and endorsement decisions are outside the packet. Cite FEC.gov for $42,177,053, 12 contributions, and the $42,454,178 employer total. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Linked pages

The NEA industry page holds the $42,454,178 employer total. The NEA ADVOCACY FUND page holds C00489815 receipts from every employer. All industries and all FEC ties list neighboring employer-committee pairs, including other three-letter employer strings, without mixing independent expenditures into this 12-line cell.

99.3 percent is $42,177,053 of $42,454,178. The leftover $277,125 is NEA-coded money on other committees. 12 lines at about $3,514,754 each are the opposite of a mass-member deduction tape. Unique donors are not listed. National Education Association spelled out is a different key if it appears.

NEA as three letters can collide with other organizations. This page does not disambiguate. TEACHER and EDUCATOR as occupation strings are not added into $42,177,053. Independent expenditures by the Advocacy Fund are outside the cell.

Cite FEC.gov for $42,177,053, 12 contributions, $42,454,178, and C00489815. Shared initials on employer and committee are still two dimensions. Do not treat 99.3% as dues, as a treasury transfer, or as funding for Department of Education awards on USAspending.

Researchers who need names behind the 12 contribution lines must leave this prose page for the committee and industry tables. This tie only publishes the overlap: $42,177,053 coded to NEA and received by NEA ADVOCACY FUND (C00489815), against an employer grouping of $42,454,178. About 99% of that grouping is here; $277,125 is not. Dollars per line average about $3,514,754. That ratio is arithmetic on the packet facts, not a typical gift and not a legal finding. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and USAspending awards remain outside the join. Cite FEC.gov. Shared initials are still two FEC dimensions.

Questions

How much did NEA-coded donors give the NEA Advocacy Fund?

FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions show $42,177,053 coded to the NEA employer grouping and received by NEA ADVOCACY FUND (C00489815). That join covers 12 contributions. The broader NEA employer total across all committees is $42,454,178. These figures are not independent expenditures.

Is this National Education Association dues or PAC withholding?

Not on this page. The total is itemized individual contributions whose employer field is NEA, not a dues file and not a confirmed union PAC deduction tape. Twelve lines averaging about $3,514,754 are a different shape than mass small gifts. This page does not verify membership. It reports the labeled join to C00489815 only.

What share of NEA FEC money went to the Advocacy Fund?

About 99.3% of the $42,454,178 NEA employer total is in this join: $42,177,053 to NEA ADVOCACY FUND. About $277,125 went to other committees. A near-total overlap describes two FEC labels that share initials, not a legal finding that the union treasury transferred the money.

Does this include NEA Advocacy Fund independent expenditures?

No. The source is FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by employer/industry and recipient committee. Independent expenditures and operating costs are outside this join. Use the C00489815 committee hub for other receipt and spending types not in this employer filter.
