Volunteer political contributions from Missouri

Missouri Volunteer money as a concentrated donor cell

Occupation VOLUNTEER and donor state MO produce $512,859, 1,293 contributions, and 30 donors. The occupation hub is $12,821,205, 46,977 contributions, and 1,361 donors. Missouri’s dollar share is about 4.0%; contribution share about 2.8% (1,293 of 46,977); donor share about 2.2% (30 of 1,361). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Volunteer hub and not a restatement of all Missouri occupations.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER, RETIRED, and NONE, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack VOLUNTEER with those strings into a single Missouri professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

30 unique donors is a small Missouri cell inside 1,361 national VOLUNTEER donors. Those 30 people produced 1,293 contributions totaling $512,859, about 43.1 itemized rows per donor. Nationally the occupation runs about 34.5 rows per donor. Mean gift is about $397 in Missouri versus about $273 nationwide. A small unique-donor count is not a suppression flag and not a person-level roster; names are not in the packet.

The VOLUNTEER string, separate from COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER

VOLUNTEER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $12,821,205 national total is VOLUNTEER only. 1,361 donors produced 46,977 contributions in that occupation bucket. VOLUNTEER is an unpaid-work self-description, not an hours-served census or nonprofit staffing table. Nearby labels COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER, RETIRED, and NONE remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 46,977 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Missouri (MO). 46,977 national contributions make VOLUNTEER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Missouri overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Missouri’s small unique-donor count in this join

30 Missouri donors produced 1,293 contributions totaling $512,859. Donor state MO is the address on the record, not proof of a Missouri license, and not a limit to Missouri candidates. MO is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $512,859. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from MO-coded donors.

The Missouri campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MO. This join is only VOLUNTEER. The Volunteer occupation hub without Missouri still holds about 96.0% of the $12,821,205 (remainder $12,308,346). Missouri’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MO. VOLUNTEER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Thirty donors are not a volunteer-hours survey

A 4.0% dollar share in Missouri does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 30 unique donors as an hours-served census or nonprofit staffing table. VOLUNTEER is not interchangeable with COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER, RETIRED, and NONE.

Quote $512,859, 1,293 contributions, and 30 donors for Volunteer in Missouri, against $12,821,205 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Volunteer and Missouri—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Missouri Volunteer figures without extra ledgers

A complete claim names Volunteer and Missouri (MO), then $512,859, 1,293 contributions, 30 donors, and 4.0% of $12,821,205, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Missouri: $12,308,346. Mean gift $397 is $512,859 divided by 1,293 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Missouri dollars on this page from the national VOLUNTEER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded VOLUNTEER in every other state combined. That remainder ($12,308,346) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 30 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Questions

How much did Volunteer-coded donors in Missouri give?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation VOLUNTEER and state Missouri total $512,859, from 1,293 contributions and 30 donors. Nationwide, VOLUNTEER-coded receipts are $12,821,205 from 46,977 contributions and 1,361 donors. Missouri is about 4.0% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Why is the Missouri Volunteer donor count so small?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string VOLUNTEER and state is MO. 30 donors are not an hours-served census or nonprofit staffing table. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER, RETIRED, and NONE, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Volunteer. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

What share of Volunteer FEC dollars is Missouri?

About 4.0% of the $12,821,205 occupation total is in this Missouri join ($512,859). Missouri also accounts for about 2.8% of contributions (1,293 of 46,977) and about 2.2% of donors (30 of 1,361). Remainder outside Missouri: $12,308,346. Occupation labels are filer-entered; FEC.gov is the source for the join.

Does this include Community Volunteer filings?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Missouri. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $512,859 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Missouri campaign finance for every occupation coded to MO; open Volunteer donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
