Philanthropist and California: dollar share versus row share

Occupation PHILANTHROPIST and donor state CA together sum to $8,118,329, 16,014 contributions, and 171 donors. The occupation hub is $36,654,588, 21,462 contributions, and 761 donors. California’s share of dollars is 22.1%; of contributions, 74.6% (16,014 of 21,462); of donors, 22.5% (171 of 761).

171 California donors produced 16,014 contributions totaling $8,118,329. That is 22.1% of the $36,654,588 Philanthropist occupation total. The leftover $28,536,259 is Philanthropist-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

One hundred seventy-one California donors produced 16,014 itemized rows totaling $8,118,329 under PHILANTHROPIST. Keep row share (74.6%) and dollar share (22.1%) on the same sentence so a line-count story does not hide a 22.1% dollar slice. The leftover $28,536,259 is Philanthropist-coded money from every other state.

PHILANTHROPIST as a self-applied occupation

PHILANTHROPIST is a self-applied occupation word. FOUNDATION, DONOR, and RETIRED PHILANTHROPIST, if used, sit in other hubs. Seven hundred sixty-one donors produced 21,462 contributions totaling $36,654,588.

California’s 16,014 of 21,462 contribution rows are 74.6% of line volume, while 171 of 761 donors are 22.5% and dollars are 22.1%. A row share far above the dollar share means repeat itemization concentrated in the California cell. Quote both shares.

One hundred seventy-one California Philanthropist donors

171 California donors produced 16,014 contributions totaling $8,118,329. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only PHILANTHROPIST. FOUNDATION, DONOR, and RETIRED PHILANTHROPIST are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Philanthropist donations without California still holds the remainder of the $36,654,588 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Three-quarters of the contribution rows, a fifth of the dollars

This page does not measure a Form 990 foundation census or a California grant ranking, and it does not claim that Philanthropist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

PHILANTHROPIST fragments against FOUNDATION, DONOR, and RETIRED PHILANTHROPIST. Those strings, if used, never enter the $36,654,588 or the $8,118,329. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

A high-frequency California cell inside a modest donor share

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Philanthropist occupation total and the difference is $28,536,259 still coded Philanthropist in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Philanthropist donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Philanthropist national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.
