University of Chicago and the 2010 FEC cycle

256 itemized gifts totaling $171,505 sit at the meeting of University of Chicago and the 2010 cycle. 103 unique donors produced the cell. FEC.gov is the source. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,684,875, so this window is about 3.7% — university employer text in a two-year tag, not a campus PAC, an endowment draw, or University of Chicago Medical Center as a sibling string.

Key figures

  • $171,505 is the University of Chicago × 2010 overlap.
  • 103 unique donors; 256 itemized contributions; mean gift about $670.
  • Lifetime grouping $4,684,875; 2010 share about 3.7%.
  • The page is university employer text, not a campus PAC.
  • Unitemized gifts, PACs, and federal awards sit outside this cell.

Two keys: UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO and 2010

The packet’s keys are literal: industry string UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, cycle 2010. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $171,505, from 256 contributions and 103 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.

$171,505 is smaller than $4,684,875 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2010 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point.

Where $4,513,370 still sits

After this 2010 cell of $171,505, $4,513,370 of the University of Chicago grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 96.3% of $4,684,875. The 2010 page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2010 total is supplied, so no “share of the election” claim is possible. 3.7% is University of Chicago-internal. Because 2010 is about 3.7% of $4,684,875, most stored University of Chicago money sits outside this window ($4,513,370). The industry hub is the index for those other cycles. This page isolates 2010 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.

How 103 donors produced 256 gifts

103 donors and 256 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 2.5 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.

$1,665 per donor and $670 per line are derived from $171,505. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Volume math uses only three facts: $171,505, 256 contributions, 103 donors. Derived means are $670 per gift and $1,665 per identity. They describe this cell, not typical American giving and not a party split.

2010 is not Election Day

An election-night search is the wrong grain for $171,505. The FEC cycle 2010 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 2010. The tie is University of Chicago in 2010. Only the tie is $171,505. Searchers often want a single Tuesday. FEC cycle 2010 is two years. Both years can feed $171,505. Dates, if needed, belong on the overlay, not as invented subtotals in this prose.

Limits of the University of Chicago string

The string UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO is not NAICS, not a Dunn-style firm ID, and not a donor page. It is university employer text. Related names remain other keys. $171,505 does not absorb them.

Motive, party, and recipient strategy are not in the facts. This file does not speculate. 103 donors and 256 contributions are counts, not a narrative about why people gave. The Commission does not verify that UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO is a legal entity, a license, or a current job. University of Chicago is university employer text. $171,505 is a text-match aggregate for 2010 itemized individual receipts.

Keeping University of Chicago 2010 distinct from the hubs

University of Chicago without 2010 is $4,684,875. 2010 without University of Chicago is the year hub. University of Chicago with 2010 is $171,505. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.

Internal links: University of Chicago 2010 (overlay), University of Chicago (grouping), 2010 election cycle (year), All FEC ties (other joins). Anchors stay as supplied in the packet. A durable citation names UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, 2010, $171,505, 256 contributions, 103 donors, and FEC.gov. Add 3.7% of $4,684,875 when lifetime context is required. Do not add USAspending dollars. Restating the join without new numbers: University of Chicago in 2010 is $171,505 from 256 itemized individual contributions and 103 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,684,875 across cycles, so 2010 is about 3.7% and other windows hold $4,513,370 (96.3%). The grouping is university employer text, not a campus PAC, an endowment draw, or University of Chicago Medical Center 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 $670; mean per donor about $1,665; about 2.5 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 $171,505.
