Philanthropist political contributions in the 2014 FEC cycle

Philanthropist and the 2014 cycle as two FEC filters

Occupation PHILANTHROPIST and cycle 2014 produce $2,629,536, 294 contributions, and 97 donors. The occupation nationwide across cycles is $36,654,588. Dollar share for 2014 is 7.2%. 294 contributions from 97 donors means repeated itemization is common in this cycle filter, not a one-gift-per-person table. Contribution count is not a headcount of people who hold the job.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. PHILANTHROPIST is a self-description on the contribution, not a verified private-foundation role. A small donor count with repeated itemization is a row pattern, not a ranking of charitable giving. Foundation grants are outside FEC individual receipts. The 2014 cycle is an even-year FEC window, a midterm-year cycle in federal itemized receipts. This page does not add 2012 presidential-year dollars into the 2014 total. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $2,629,536.

7.2% of $36,654,588 is $2,629,536. That arithmetic uses only the occupation total and the cycle total in this packet. It is not a forecast and not a party split. Recipient committees may be anywhere; cycle is the FEC even-year window, not the donor’s state.

Philanthropist as an occupation string

Philanthropist donations is the occupation hub: $36,654,588 across cycles from filers who typed PHILANTHROPIST. Sibling strings (RETIRED, INVESTOR, and FOUNDATION) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a foundation Form 990 total, a family-office AUM figure, or a charity PAC.

The 2014 cycle filter on Philanthropist receipts

The 2014 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Philanthropist. $2,629,536 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2014. It is not a 2012 presidential-year filter or a 2010 midterm-year filter.

294 contributions from 97 donors means repeated itemization is common in this cycle filter, not a one-gift-per-person table. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,629,536, 294, and 97 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,629,536. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,629,536. Three numbers define the Philanthropist × 2014 cell: dollars $2,629,536, contribution rows 294, unique donors 97. Share of occupation dollars is 7.2% of $36,654,588.

What the Philanthropist–2014 join is not

Matching Philanthropist with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Philanthropist donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a foundation Form 990 total, a family-office AUM figure, or a charity PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PHILANTHROPIST is a self-description on the contribution, not a verified private-foundation role. A small donor count with repeated itemization is a row pattern, not a ranking of charitable giving. Foundation grants are outside FEC individual receipts. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Philanthropist donations hub is $36,654,588; the 2014 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Philanthropist and 2014 pages

Philanthropist donations holds the $36,654,588 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Philanthropist. All occupations places PHILANTHROPIST beside other titles without merging sibling strings (RETIRED, INVESTOR, and FOUNDATION). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,629,536 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Philanthropist dollars ($36,654,588). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,629,536, 294 contributions, 97 donors, 7.2% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: Philanthropist donations, the 2014 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

Philanthropist 2014 as a dollar-share slice

2014 accounts for 7.2% of the Philanthropist occupation total ($2,629,536 of $36,654,588). Most Philanthropist-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. $2.6 million is the same fact as $2,629,536 rounded to one decimal million, not a second extract. Do not add RETIRED dollars into $2,629,536.

Researchers who need employer text or recipient committees should leave this join and open the Philanthropist donations table. The 2014 cycle page is the even-year inventory. FEC.gov remains the controlling filing if extracts diverge.
