Princeton University and the 2010 FEC cycle

2010 filtered to Princeton University

Apply the Princeton University filter to the 2010 election cycle and the remaining money is $170,739. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 316 contributions and 105 donors. The overlay at the cycle path lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.

Princeton University is university employer text. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 105 unique donors matched the stored string in 2010. Repeat gifts can raise 316 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The all-cycle Princeton University total of $4,949,026 still includes other windows. Citing $4,949,026 as if it were 2010 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2010 hub as if it were Princeton University-only would overstate the year.

3.4% in 2010, 96.6% elsewhere

3.4% of stored Princeton University money is tagged 2010 ($170,739). 96.6% is not ($4,778,287). Both percentages use $4,949,026 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The industry hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2010 so $4,949,026 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Lifetime Princeton University storage is $4,949,026. Subtract the 2010 cell and $4,778,287 remains. That remainder is 96.6% of the grouping. 3.4% is the 2010 share. Both percentages use packet facts only.

Itemized count versus unique donors

Contribution count (316) and donor count (105) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $170,739 is their dollar sum.

If a searcher wants names, the overlay is the next stop. This JSON file reports 105 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract. Contributor identities (105) are not a headcount of a firm or a profession. Repeat itemized gifts explain 316 lines from fewer identities. About 3.0 lines per donor is the mean on this packet.

Dropping the Princeton University filter

Dropping the Princeton University filter returns the reader to the 2010 election cycle index. That index is not $170,739. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 316 contributions, 105 donors, $170,739.

No cycle-wide denominator is in the packet, so Princeton University cannot be ranked as a percent of 2010 national itemized giving. 3.4% remains a share of $4,949,026 only. Open the 2010 election cycle to see every grouping that year. This file does not copy that list. Princeton University remains one cell: $170,739, 316 contributions, 105 donors.

Self-reported fields and missing tables

Missing from the packet: recipient names, party split, unitemized totals, PAC disbursements, and any USAspending figure. Present: $170,739, 316 contributions, 105 donors, $4,949,026 lifetime, cycle 2010, string PRINCETON UNIVERSITY.

Self-reported fields create split spellings. Researchers who need a firm-level view must inspect neighboring keys on the industry index rather than assume $4,949,026 is complete for a legal entity. Federal award files can reuse famous names. Those files are not FEC itemized individual contributions. This join does not claim that $170,739 funded contracts or grants.

What to carry forward from this packet

Carry forward $170,739, 316, 105, 3.4%, $4,949,026, and the string PRINCETON UNIVERSITY. Leave behind invented recipients, party shares, and contract dollars. The source note is FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle.

$540 per contribution and $1,626 per donor are derived means. Label them as such. University employer text remains the right description of the grouping. If live hubs disagree with $170,739, the overlay and FEC.gov control. This snapshot recorded 316 contributions and 105 donors for PRINCETON UNIVERSITY in 2010. Restating the join without new numbers: Princeton University in 2010 is $170,739 from 316 itemized individual contributions and 105 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,949,026 across cycles, so 2010 is about 3.4% and other windows hold $4,778,287 (96.6%). The grouping is university employer text, not a campus PAC, an endowment draw, or Princeton Plasma Physics Lab as a sibling string. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $540; mean per donor about $1,626; about 3.0 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2010 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $170,739.
