University of Pennsylvania and the 2010 FEC cycle
291 itemized gifts totaling $186,459 sit at the meeting of University of Pennsylvania and the 2010 cycle. 129 unique donors produced the cell. FEC.gov is the source. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,780,435, so this window is about 3.9% — university employer text in a two-year tag, not a campus PAC, an endowment draw, or Penn Medicine as a sibling string.

Two keys: UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA and 2010
The packet’s keys are literal: industry string UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, cycle 2010. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $186,459, from 291 contributions and 129 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.
$186,459 is smaller than $4,780,435 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 $4,593,976 still sits
After this 2010 cell of $186,459, $4,593,976 of the University of Pennsylvania grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 96.1% of $4,780,435. 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. 3.9% is University of Pennsylvania-internal. Because 2010 is about 3.9% of $4,780,435, most stored University of Pennsylvania money sits outside this window ($4,593,976). 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 129 donors produced 291 gifts
129 donors and 291 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 2.3 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.
$1,445 per donor and $641 per line are derived from $186,459. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Volume math uses only three facts: $186,459, 291 contributions, 129 donors. Derived means are $641 per gift and $1,445 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 $186,459. 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 Pennsylvania in 2010. Only the tie is $186,459. Searchers often want a single Tuesday. FEC cycle 2010 is two years. Both years can feed $186,459. Dates, if needed, belong on the overlay, not as invented subtotals in this prose.
Limits of the University of Pennsylvania string
The string UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA is not NAICS, not a Dunn-style firm ID, and not a donor page. It is university employer text. Related names remain other keys. $186,459 does not absorb them.
Motive, party, and recipient strategy are not in the facts. This file does not speculate. 129 donors and 291 contributions are counts, not a narrative about why people gave. The Commission does not verify that UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA is a legal entity, a license, or a current job. University of Pennsylvania is university employer text. $186,459 is a text-match aggregate for 2010 itemized individual receipts.
Keeping University of Pennsylvania 2010 distinct from the hubs
University of Pennsylvania without 2010 is $4,780,435. 2010 without University of Pennsylvania is the year hub. University of Pennsylvania with 2010 is $186,459. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.
Internal links: University of Pennsylvania 2010 (overlay), University of Pennsylvania (grouping), 2010 election cycle (year), All FEC ties (other joins). Anchors stay as supplied in the packet. A durable citation names UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, 2010, $186,459, 291 contributions, 129 donors, and FEC.gov. Add 3.9% of $4,780,435 when lifetime context is required. Do not add USAspending dollars. Restating the join without new numbers: University of Pennsylvania in 2010 is $186,459 from 291 itemized individual contributions and 129 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,780,435 across cycles, so 2010 is about 3.9% and other windows hold $4,593,976 (96.1%). The grouping is university employer text, not a campus PAC, an endowment draw, or Penn Medicine 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 $641; mean per donor about $1,445; about 2.3 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 $186,459.
