Philanthropist political contributions from New York

Why dollars and contribution counts diverge here

Occupation PHILANTHROPIST and state NY produce $15,370,951, 1,496 contributions, and 131 donors. The occupation nationwide is $36,654,588, 21,462 contributions, and 761 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 42%. Contribution share is about 7% (1,496 of 21,462). Donor share is about 17% (131 of 761).

That gap—about two-fifths of the money and under one-tenth of the rows—is the relationship this tie exists to show. New York Philanthropist-coded receipts are dollar-heavy relative to the national occupation’s contribution mix. The aggregates do not name the 131 donors or prove a single giving program.

Philanthropist–New York is a dollar-majority-adjacent slice with few rows: $15,370,951 of $36,654,588, 1,496 of 21,462 contributions, 131 of 761 donors. About 17% of people, about 7% of rows, about 42% of dollars. Two-fifths of the labeled money and under one-tenth of the labeled contributions is the relationship. It is not a foundation grants table. It is not a ranking of New York charity. It is occupation PHILANTHROPIST plus state NY on itemized individual contributions. The 131 donors are people whose records used that pair of labels. The occupation hub holds $36,654,588 from 761 donors. The New York hub holds every occupation coded to NY. Independent expenditures are not in either total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Philanthropist as a self-reported occupation

PHILANTHROPIST is a title filers chose. It is not a verified 501(c)(3) officer list and not a measure of grants paid. National totals are 761 donors, 21,462 contributions, and $36,654,588. Retired, investor, or not applicable, if used instead, sit in other occupation buckets.

Twenty-one thousand contributions from 761 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. New York’s 1,496 contributions from 131 donors is a smaller row share than dollar share, which is the opposite of high-volume occupations such as Teacher.

New York on the donor-state side

The NY filter is $15,370,951 from 1,496 contributions and 131 donors. Donor state is the address on the record. Recipients may be committees in any state. This page does not treat the $15,370,951 as New York charity spending; it is campaign-finance itemization.

New York campaign finance overall includes Investor, Lawyer, and Author. This tie isolates Philanthropist.

What 42% of occupation dollars does not mean

A large New York share of Philanthropist-coded campaign receipts does not mean New York philanthropy caused electoral outcomes, and it does not equate donations with foundation grants. Occupation plus state is not causation. Charitable disbursements are a different reporting system.
