Stanford U Hospital and the 2008 FEC election cycle
$112,800 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the employer grouping Stanford U Hospital. FEC.gov aggregates count 30 contributions from 1 donor. The same string totals $45,865,592 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 0.2% of the lifetime bucket — hospital employer text meeting a two-year window, not Stanford Health Care as a corporate treasury, a hospital PAC, or every Stanford University spelling stored separately.
Key figures
- Stanford U Hospital × 2008 is $112,800 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 30 contributions from 1 donor.
- 2008 is about 0.2% of the grouping’s $45,865,592 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (hospital employer text), not Stanford Health Care as a corporate treasury.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Stanford U Hospital as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — STANFORD U HOSPITAL and 2008 — sum to $112,800. 30 itemized contributions and 1 unique donor produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.
Neither the Stanford U Hospital hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Stanford U Hospital is hospital employer text, not a verified payroll file. 1 donor and 30 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string STANFORD U HOSPITAL.
The join exists so a reader does not treat $45,865,592 (all cycles for this string) as the 2008 story, and does not treat the 2008 cycle hub as a Stanford U Hospital-only list. Two filters, one cell: $112,800.
0.2% of the Stanford U Hospital roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $45,865,592. The 2008 slice of $112,800 is about 0.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 99.8% ($45,752,792). Treating 2008 as the entire Stanford U Hospital FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $45,865,592 as the denominator for the 0.2% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $45,865,592. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
30 contributions from 1 donor
Dividing $112,800 by 30 contributions yields about $3,760 per itemized gift. Dividing by 1 donor yields about $112,800 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 30.0. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe.
The packet lists 1 unique donor. That is a small identity count, not a finding that Stanford U Hospital as an institution wrote $112,800. One or a few people who reused the same employer or title field can dominate a cell. Repeat gifts raise 30 contribution lines above the 1-donor count. The overlay holds the rows.
2008 as the cycle dimension
The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Stanford U Hospital is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Stanford U Hospital to drop the year.
Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $112,800 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 30 contributions, the 1 unique donor, and the 0.2% share of $45,865,592.
What the Commission does not verify
Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $112,800. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is hospital employer text, not Stanford Health Care as a corporate treasury, a hospital PAC, or every Stanford University spelling stored separately.
One donor and 30 contribution lines totaling $112,800 is a concentrated cell. It is not Stanford University’s endowment, not a hospital-system PAC, and not every Stanford Medicine spelling. The overlay shows the rows behind the single identity. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.
Citing Stanford U Hospital and 2008 together
Start with $112,800, then Stanford U Hospital 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: STANFORD U HOSPITAL, 2008, $112,800, 30 contributions, 1 donor, 0.2% of $45,865,592, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.
The 0.2% share, the 1-donor count, and the $3,760 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling employer word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. 30 itemized contributions totaling $112,800 average about $3,760 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
