Yale University and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Yale University as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — YALE UNIVERSITY and 2010 — sum to $153,375. 215 itemized contributions and 103 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the Yale University hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Yale University is university employer text, not a verified payroll file. 103 donors and 215 lines in 2010 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string YALE UNIVERSITY.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $4,982,646 (all cycles for this string) as the 2010 story, and does not treat the 2010 cycle hub as a Yale University-only list. Two filters, one cell: $153,375.

3.1% of the Yale University roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,982,646. The 2010 slice of $153,375 is about 3.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.9% ($4,829,271). Treating 2010 as the entire Yale University FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $4,982,646 as the denominator for the 3.1% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $4,982,646. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

215 contributions from 103 donors

Dividing $153,375 by 215 contributions yields about $713 per itemized gift. Dividing by 103 donors yields about $1,489 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.1. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe.

103 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.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Yale University is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Yale University to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $153,375 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 215 contributions, the 103 unique donors, and the 3.1% share of $4,982,646.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $153,375. 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 campus PAC, an endowment draw, or Yale New Haven as a sibling string.

Correlation between an employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 103 donors, and 215 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Citing Yale University and 2010 together

Start with $153,375, then Yale University 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: YALE UNIVERSITY, 2010, $153,375, 215 contributions, 103 donors, 3.1% of $4,982,646, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 3.1% share, the 103-donor count, and the $713 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. 215 itemized contributions totaling $153,375 average about $713 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
