University of Utah and the 2008 FEC cycle
$223,357 is the headline for University of Utah in 2008, not the grouping’s all-cycle $4,848,699. Itemized individual receipts in this two-year window number 288 from 98 donors. Cite FEC.gov. The join explains a relationship between employer text and a cycle tag; it is not a university PAC, not an endowment figure, and not federal research awards to the campus.
Key figures
- University of Utah × 2008 is $223,357 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 288 contributions from 98 donors.
- 2008 is about 4.6% of the grouping’s $4,848,699 all-cycle total.

Two keys: University of Utah and 2008
The relationship is mechanical: stored employer text UNIVERSITY OF UTAH plus cycle year 2008. FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates put $223,357 at that intersection, from 288 itemized gifts and 98 unique donors. No recipient names appear in this packet. Independent expenditures sit outside the cell.
University of Utah is university employer text, not a university PAC, not an endowment figure, and not federal research awards to the campus. U OF UTAH, UNIV OF UTAH, and UTAH are other keys. The FEC does not verify that the string matches a legal employer, a license, or a current job.
Readers who want the year without University of Utah use 2008 election cycle. Readers who want University of Utah without 2008 use University Of Utah. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain the dollar cell.
Where 2008 sits on the University of Utah hub
4.6% is $223,357 divided by $4,848,699. That arithmetic uses only packet facts. The leftover 95.4% equals $4,625,342 and lives on other cycle pages for University of Utah. A mid-single-digit share (or any other share this packet happens to show) is not a peak-year claim.
$4,848,699 is a sum of itemized individual receipts grouped to UNIVERSITY OF UTAH across cycles in this table. It is not assets, payroll, or a federal award total. Sharing a calendar year with USAspending records does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Keep the 4.6% attached to University of Utah and 2008 together.
Means on the University of Utah 2008 packet
Dividing $223,357 by 288 contributions yields about $776 per itemized gift. Dividing by 98 donors yields about $2,279 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.9. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim.
98 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for University Of Utah 2008 holds the rows.
2008 is not election night
The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. University of Utah is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and University Of Utah to drop the year.
Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $223,357 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 288 contributions, the 98 unique donors, and the 4.6% share of $4,848,699.
Separate datasets stay separate
Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $223,357. 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 university employer text, not a university PAC, not an endowment figure, and not federal research awards to the campus.
Correlation between an employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 98 donors, and 288 contributions. U OF UTAH, UNIV OF UTAH, and UTAH are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.
Using University Of Utah 2008 as the row source
Start with $223,357, then University Of Utah 2008 for rows, then University Of Utah or 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, 2008, $223,357, 288 contributions, 98 donors, 4.6% of $4,848,699, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.
The 4.6% share, the 98-donor count, and the $776 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. 288 itemized contributions totaling $223,357 average about $776 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
