Pfizer Inc and the 2010 FEC election cycle
Donors listing Pfizer Inc reported $276,201 in itemized individual contributions during the 2010 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 902 contributions from 107 donors. The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6,607,989; the 2010 slice is about 4.2% of that running sum. The key is not a pharmaceutical NAICS total and not a Pfizer PAC.
Key figures
- Pfizer Inc × 2010 is $276,201 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 902 contributions from 107 donors.
- 2010 is about 4.2% of the grouping’s $6,607,989 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a pharmaceutical NAICS total and not a Pfizer PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Pfizer Inc crossed with 2010
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Pfizer Inc and 2010 — sum to $276,201. 902 itemized contributions and 107 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. PFIZER INC is grouped employer text, including INC as stored. The 2010 filter keeps receipts in that cycle whose employer field collapsed to this key. It does not merge PFIZER without INC or acquired-brand employer strings.
Neither the Pfizer Inc hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Pfizer Inc hub is the year index for this string. PFIZER, WYETH, and PHARMACEUTICAL occupation titles stay on their own keys if stored separately. Federal health awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.
4.2% of the Pfizer Inc roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6.6 million ($6,607,989). The 2010 slice of $276,201 is about 4.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.8%. Treating 2010 as the Pfizer Inc FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $6,607,989 as the denominator for the 4.2% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $6,607,989.
902 contributions from 107 donors
Dividing $276,201 by 902 contributions yields about $306 per itemized gift. Dividing by 107 donors yields about $2,581 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 8.4. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.
107 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 Pfizer Inc 2010 holds the rows.
2010 as the cycle dimension
The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Pfizer Inc is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Pfizer Inc to drop the year.
Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $276,201 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 902 contributions, the 107 unique donors, and the 4.2% share of $6,607,989.
Limits of the Pfizer Inc × 2010 join
Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $276,201. 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 pharmaceutical NAICS total and not a Pfizer PAC.
Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 107 donors, and 902 contributions. PFIZER, PFIZER INC., WYETH, and generic PHARMACEUTICAL occupation strings are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.
Citing Pfizer Inc and 2010 together
Start with $276,201, then Pfizer Inc 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Pfizer Inc, 2010, $276,201, 902 contributions, 107 donors, 4.2% of $6,607,989, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.
The 4.2% share, the 107-donor count, and the $306 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.
