Stanford University political money — 2014 cycle
Stanford University itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov totaled $814,994 in the 2014 election cycle, across 621 receipts from 175 donors. The same employer/industry grouping indexes $15,350,461 across all harvested cycles in this extract. 2014 accounts for 5.3% of that grouping total. A cycle slice is not the grouping, and the grouping is not a PAC.
Key figures
- Stanford University in 2014: $814,994 on 621 receipts from 175 donors.
- Stanford University all-cycle grouping in this extract: $15,350,461.
- 2014 is 5.3% of that grouping total — a year cut, not the parent.
- Employer labels are filer-entered. Cycle dollars are not federal awards.
Why Stanford University and 2014 share a page
This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Stanford University and even-year election cycle 2014. $814,994 is the intersection. $15,350,461 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 621 is the 2014 line count. The 2014 donor count is 175 donors. LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.
Open the Stanford University 2014 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the Stanford University industry hub for the parent grouping, the 2014 election-cycle index for every industry in that year, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Quote $814,994 when the sentence is about 2014. Quote $15,350,461 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.
The 2014 slice for Stanford University
In 2014, receipts tagged Stanford University sum to $814,994 on 621 itemized lines from 175 donors. About $1,312 per receipt is $814,994 divided by 621. About $4,657 per harvested donor is $814,994 divided by 175. FEC even-year cycles run January 1 of the odd year through December 31 of the even year; 2014 names that two-year window, not a single November night.
One hundred seventy-five donors and 621 receipts produced $814,994 in 2014, a midterm-year slice of a $15,350,461 grouping. University employer strings mix faculty, staff, students, and people who type the campus name. This is not Stanford’s institutional PAC and not a medical-center-only subtotal — those splits are not in the packet.
The Stanford University grouping beyond 2014
The parent grouping indexes $15,350,461 ($15.4 million rounded). 2014’s $814,994 is 5.3% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $814,994. Do not invent a 2012 or 2016 total from these facts.
Employer strings are filer-entered. Stanford University captures whatever collapsed into this key in the harvest. Spelling variants, subsidiaries, and occupation words that look similar sit on other keys unless they matched. Independent expenditures by a committee that shares a brand with Stanford University are a different schedule and are not inside $814,994 or $15,350,461.
5.3% is $814,994 divided by $15,350,461. Rounding to $814,994 and $15.4 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.
Limits of an industry × cycle join
This join is not a claim that Stanford University bought an election in 2014. It is not a party split; this packet has none. It is not a unique-person census of a workforce. The harvest counts 175 donors in the 2014 slice, and one person can still appear across committees. It is not federal spending under USAspending.gov. Contributions do not fund awards on this page.
Unitemized federal gifts never enter $814,994. State-office campaigns never enter $814,994. Amendments can restate large transfers while most of the 621 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the Stanford University 2014 hub. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.
Comparing Stanford University in 2014 to another industry requires that other industry’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle. A ranking of industries for 2014 is a different page — the 2014 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.
How to cite Stanford University in 2014
Citation template: employer/industry grouping Stanford University, election cycle 2014, $814,994 on 621 itemized individual contributions from 175 donors, which is 5.3% of the grouping’s harvested $15,350,461 all-cycle total. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Then point to the Stanford University 2014 overlay, the Stanford University industry page, the 2014 election-cycle index, and All FEC ties. Keep $1,312 labeled as dollars divided by lines if you print a mean. Keep 175 donors labeled as harvested donors, not employees.
Keep the unit explicit. Stanford University is an employer/industry string. 2014 is an FEC two-year cycle. $814,994 is itemized individual contributions in that intersection. The harvested donor count is 175 donors. 621 is the line count. $15,350,461 is the parent grouping. None of those fields is a vote total.
Reading Stanford University next to the 2014 cycle index
The Stanford University 2014 overlay is the live table for this cut. The Stanford University industry page is the parent grouping at $15,350,461. The 2014 election-cycle index lists other employer strings in the same two-year window; it is not a license to add those strings to $814,994. All FEC ties holds sibling joins. Use all four links. None of them converts $814,994 into USAspending obligations.
A later bulk file can restate $814,994 without rewriting this paragraph. Treat the hubs as current and this JSON as a packet snapshot. Quote 2014 as an FEC even-year cycle, Stanford University as a filer-entered employer or occupation grouping, and 175 donors as a harvested donor count on 621 lines. That is the whole join: Stanford University × 2014 = $814,994.
Do not print a 2014 ‘share of US politics’ statistic from $814,994. The denominator for 5.3% is $15,350,461, the Stanford University grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov. A sentence that drops that denominator misstates the join.
