Volunteer political money in the 2014 election cycle

Volunteer as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation VOLUNTEER and election cycle 2014. Matching rows sum to $617,658, 628 contributions, and 218 donors. VOLUNTEER is the exact occupation string. Community Volunteer is a different key if those two words appear. Unpaid campaign staff versus charity volunteer is unpublished. The occupation hub is $12,821,205 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2014 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2014’s dollar share is 4.8% ($617,658 of $12,821,205). The remainder, $12,203,547, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A donor-key count of 218 and a 4.8% year share mean 2014 is one slice of the labeled roll, not the whole occupation. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $617,658.

Open Volunteer donations for the $12,821,205 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. 2014 is a midterm cycle. This join does not rank Volunteer versus other titles in that window.

The Volunteer string across every cycle on file

$12,821,205 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2014. Community Volunteer, Retired, Activist, and Unpaid Intern are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $12,821,205 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

The occupation hub still answers questions this page refuses: every cycle under VOLUNTEER, not only 2014. This file stays on the overlap. $12,203,547 remains on the hub as the complement of $617,658. VOLUNTEER is the exact occupation string. Community Volunteer is a different key if those two words appear. Unpaid campaign staff versus charity volunteer is unpublished. Do not fold those sibling strings into $12,821,205 and then cite the sum as this join.

218 donors and the gift math in 2014

Dividing $617,658 by 628 contributions yields about $984 per gift. Dividing by 218 donors yields about $2,833 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.9 (628 ÷ 218). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

218 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2014. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 218 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2014 receipts beside this cell.

What 4.8% of Volunteer-coded dollars is not

A 4.8% share of Volunteer-coded dollars from 2014 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2014 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $617,658 as itemized individual receipts tagged VOLUNTEER in 2014, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Volunteer × 2014

A complete claim names Volunteer and 2014, then $617,658, 628 contributions, 218 donors, and 4.8% of $12,821,205, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 218 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Volunteer and 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $984 and mean per donor $2,833 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Volunteer donations rolls every cycle into one VOLUNTEER running total. The 2014 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2014 total. Only the Volunteer × 2014 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 628 receipts and $617,658. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and sibling keys

The occupation hub still holds $12,203,547 outside 2014. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Community Volunteer, Retired, Activist, and Unpaid Intern are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of VOLUNTEER on this page. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 2.9. That ratio is 628 divided by 218, not a measure of turnout.

A clean footnote names occupation VOLUNTEER, election cycle 2014, $617,658 in itemized individual contributions, 628 receipts, and 218 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $984 per line and $2,833 per donor in the cell. If the live Volunteer donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 628 as unique workers in the trade.

Questions

How much did Volunteer-tagged donors give in 2014?

The join records $617,658 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Volunteer in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 628 contributions and 218 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $12,821,205, so 2014 is 4.8% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every volunteer who donated in 2014?

No. The 218 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to VOLUNTEER in 2014. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $617,658 on 628 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Volunteer occupation money is the 2014 cycle?

4.8%: $617,658 of $12,821,205. The remaining $12,203,547 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $617,658 divided by $12,821,205, not a ranking of civic engagement and not a peak-year list. Other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder.

Where are the live Volunteer and 2014 tables?

Volunteer donations carries the $12,821,205 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle hub places Volunteer beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Volunteer × 2014 intersection only.
