Volunteer contributions received by ACTBLUE

Volunteer as an occupation stamp, not campaign hours

VOLUNTEER is the grouped occupation string. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER, RETIRED, and NONE are other keys if stored separately. Matching rows sum to $2,327,771 across 40,131 contributions. The occupation hub is $12,821,205 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Volunteer. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

Tens of thousands of itemized lines on a Volunteer stamp describe a self-reported occupation, not unpaid campaign hours. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed VOLUNTEER; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER, if used, is a longer sibling string. This join is VOLUNTEER only.

Under one-fifth of the Volunteer grouping

The Volunteer occupation grouping shows $12,821,205 in itemized individual money. The ACTBLUE cell is $2,327,771, or 18.2% of that total. The remaining $10,493,434 went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder. Most Volunteer-coded dollars still sit at other committees. An 18.2% ActBlue share is a slice of the occupation book.

Volunteer keeps the $12,821,205 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for a company PAC or for independent expenditures.

40,131 contributions on the Volunteer label

ACTBLUE received $2,327,771 from Volunteer-coded receipts across 40,131 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $58 per contribution. 40,131 lines are not 40,131 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell. Itemized dollars mean these rows cleared the FEC itemization threshold. Unpaid time never enters these dollar tables.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $2,327,771 total. C00401224 can function as a conduit; this join still stores the committee as the recipient on the itemized line.

Unpaid hours, RETIRED as a sibling, and awards

A 18.2% share of Volunteer-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ACTBLUE is the occupation’s only political destination. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards. Do not read the occupation stamp as proof that the donor worked as an unpaid canvasser for this committee.

Quote $2,327,771 as 18.2% of $12,821,205 into C00401224, with 40,131 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 40,131 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job. This page is not a count of ActBlue campaign volunteers or unpaid canvassing hours.

How to cite Volunteer × C00401224

A complete claim names Volunteer and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $2,327,771, 40,131 contributions, and 18.2% of $12,821,205, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $10,493,434 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

A count of campaign volunteers or unpaid canvassing hours would be a different object. This join stops at itemized receipts tagged VOLUNTEER and attributed to C00401224. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Mean gift $58 is $2,327,771 divided by 40,131 lines, and the occupation remainder outside C00401224 is $10,493,434. Repeat the four numbers together: $2,327,771 into C00401224, 40,131 contributions, 18.2% of $12,821,205, committee ACTBLUE.
