Volunteer donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Why Volunteer and 2010 share a page

Volunteer pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2010 pages without this string mix every occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $501,577 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged VOLUNTEER in 2010. 570 contributions and 262 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored occupation label is filer-entered. The Commission does not certify that each filer held that title or used a standardized job code. Community volunteer, retired, activist, and unpaid intern remain other keys. A nonprofit staff census, a volunteer-hours log, or an unpaid-labor survey would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $12,821,205 on the occupation hub and keep the 2010 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $501,577. VOLUNTEER is the occupation string on the form, not a verified unpaid-hours total. Community volunteer is a longer neighboring label.

VOLUNTEER in a midterm window

$12,821,205 is the all-cycle total stored for VOLUNTEER. Subtract $501,577 and $12,319,628 remains in other cycles (96.1%). 2010 therefore accounts for 3.9% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other occupations.

Do not read 3.9% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2010 campaign. It is $501,577 divided by $12,821,205. The occupation hub is where the other windows live. VOLUNTEER is the occupation string on the form, not a verified unpaid-hours total. Community volunteer is a longer neighboring label. Neighbors include community volunteer, retired, activist, and unpaid intern.

570 contributions from 262 donors

570 itemized contributions and 262 unique donors sit behind $501,577. Average gift size is about $880; average dollars per donor about $1,914; lines per donor about 2.2. Averages hide skew. 262 donors is a mid-size cell on this table.

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for Volunteer. This packet does not publish names. Open the overlay for rows; do not invent them here. VOLUNTEER is the occupation string on the form, not a verified unpaid-hours total. Community volunteer is a longer neighboring label.

The two-year 2010 window

FEC election cycles are two-year spans. 2010 covers that even-year midterm window, so receipts from the odd year before the election can sit in $501,577. This packet does not split those years.

The 2010 hub is the place to see every other occupation string that year. This page keeps the Volunteer filter on. Without a cycle-wide total in the facts, no percentage of national 2010 giving is claimed.

2010 cell versus neighboring titles and PACs

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $501,577. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an occupation string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is a filer-entered occupation, not a nonprofit staff census, a volunteer-hours log, or an unpaid-labor survey.

Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 262 donors, and 570 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Citation template for Volunteer × 2010

Citation template: Volunteer, 2010, $501,577, 570 contributions, 262 donors, 3.9% of $12,821,205, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string VOLUNTEER.

The 3.9% share, the 262-donor count, and the $880 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
