Princeton University and the 2012 FEC cycle

549 itemized gifts totaling $326,154 sit at the meeting of Princeton University and the 2012 cycle. 175 unique donors produced the cell. FEC.gov is the source. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,949,026, so this window is about 6.6% — university employer text in a two-year tag, not a campus PAC, a university treasury, or Princeton as a municipal string.

Two keys: PRINCETON UNIVERSITY and 2012

The packet’s keys are literal: industry string PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, cycle 2012. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $326,154, from 549 contributions and 175 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as university employer text. Self-reported employer and occupation fields are free text. Filers who wrote a longer firm name, a parent company, or a nearby title are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets.

$326,154 is smaller than $4,949,026 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2012 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point.

Where $4,622,872 still sits

After this 2012 cell of $326,154, $4,622,872 of the Princeton University grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 93.4% of $4,949,026. The 2012 page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2012 total is supplied, so no “share of the election” claim is possible. 6.6% is Princeton University-internal. Because 2012 is about 6.6% of $4,949,026, most stored Princeton University money sits outside this window ($4,622,872). The industry hub is the index for those other cycles. This page isolates 2012 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.

How 175 donors produced 549 gifts

175 donors and 549 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 3.1 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups.

$1,864 per donor and $594 per line are derived from $326,154. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Volume math uses only three facts: $326,154, 549 contributions, 175 donors. Derived means are $594 per gift and $1,864 per identity. They describe this cell, not typical American giving and not a party split.

2012 is not Election Day

An election-night search is the wrong grain for $326,154. The FEC cycle 2012 is a two-year bucket. Dates belong on the overlay, not in invented subtotals.

The cycle hub and this tie differ by one filter. The hub is all strings in 2012. The tie is Princeton University in 2012. Only the tie is $326,154. Searchers often want a single Tuesday. FEC cycle 2012 is two years. Both years can feed $326,154. Dates, if needed, belong on the overlay, not as invented subtotals in this prose.

Limits of the Princeton University string

The string PRINCETON UNIVERSITY is not NAICS, not a Dunn-style firm ID, and not a donor page. It is university employer text. Related names remain other keys. $326,154 does not absorb them.

Motive, party, and recipient strategy are not in the facts. This file does not speculate. 175 donors and 549 contributions are counts, not a narrative about why people gave. The Commission does not verify that PRINCETON UNIVERSITY is a legal entity, a license, or a current job. Princeton University is university employer text. $326,154 is a text-match aggregate for 2012 itemized individual receipts.

Keeping Princeton University 2012 distinct from the hubs

Princeton University without 2012 is $4,949,026. 2012 without Princeton University is the year hub. Princeton University with 2012 is $326,154. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.

Internal links: Princeton University 2012 (overlay), Princeton University (grouping), 2012 election cycle (year), All FEC ties (other joins). Anchors stay as supplied in the packet. A durable citation names PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, 2012, $326,154, 549 contributions, 175 donors, and FEC.gov. Add 6.6% of $4,949,026 when lifetime context is required. Do not add USAspending dollars. Restating the join without new numbers: Princeton University in 2012 is $326,154 from 549 itemized individual contributions and 175 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,949,026 across cycles, so 2012 is about 6.6% and other windows hold $4,622,872 (93.4%). The grouping is university employer text, not a campus PAC, a university treasury, or Princeton as a municipal 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 $594; mean per donor about $1,864; about 3.1 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2012 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $326,154.
