Paine Webber political money — 2008 cycle
$521,136 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the employer string Paine Webber. FEC.gov aggregates count 335 contributions from 103 donors. The same stored string totals $6,279,163 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 8.3% of the lifetime bucket — filer-entered form text meeting a two-year window, not a brokerage PAC, a UBS roll-up, or a securities NAICS total.
Key figures

- 2008 is about 8.3% of the grouping’s $6,279,163 all-cycle total.

Paine Webber as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — PAINE WEBBER and 2008 — sum to $521,136. 335 itemized contributions and 103 unique donors produced it. The total is not a corporate treasury gift and is not a committee disbursement. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.
Neither the Paine Webber hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Paine Webber is employer string, not a verified payroll file. 103 donors and 335 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. Successor UBS spellings are other employer keys. The 2008 cell matches PAINE WEBBER as stored. People who typed PAINEWEBBER, UBS PAINEWEBBER, UBS, and PAINE WEBBER INC sit in other buckets. This page is the exact string PAINE WEBBER.
LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Paine Webber 2008 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2008 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Paine Webber 2008 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $521,136, 335 contributions, 103 donors, and 8.3% of $6,279,163.
8.3% of the Paine Webber roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6,279,163. The 2008 slice of $521,136 is about 8.3% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 91.7% ($5,758,027). Treating 2008 as the entire Paine Webber FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $6,279,163 as the denominator for the 8.3% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $6,279,163. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
335 contributions from 103 donors
Dividing $521,136 by 335 contributions yields about $1,556 per itemized gift. Dividing by 103 donors yields about $5,060 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.3. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe.
103 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. Unitemized gifts never appear in $521,136.
2008 as the cycle dimension
The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Paine Webber is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Paine Webber to drop the year.
Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $521,136 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. 2008 is a presidential federal cycle on FEC.gov. That calendar label does not explain $521,136. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix beyond the stored string PAINE WEBBER.
What the Commission does not verify
Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $521,136. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a brokerage PAC, a UBS roll-up, or a securities NAICS total.
Correlation between a stored employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 103 donors, and 335 contributions. PAINEWEBBER, UBS PAINEWEBBER, UBS, and PAINE WEBBER INC are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. If the live hubs disagree with $521,136 or 103 donors, the newer FEC extract controls.
Citing Paine Webber and 2008 together
Start with $521,136, then Paine Webber 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Paine Webber, 2008, $521,136, 335 contributions, 103 donors, 8.3% of $6,279,163, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string PAINE WEBBER.
The 8.3% share, the 103-donor count, and the $1,556 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label 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.
