How Yale University meets the 2012 cycle

$403,563 requires both keys at once: grouped employer/industry YALE UNIVERSITY, and cycle 2012. LobbyVault keeps a Yale University industry hub and a 2012 election-cycle hub. Neither hub is this page. This URL is only the intersection. YALE UNIVERSITY is grouped employer text, not Yale as a PAC filer and not a count of every instructor. YALE, YALE UNIV, and school-within-Yale spellings can be other keys. 200 unique donors produced 580 itemized receipts in 2012, about 2.9 lines per donor.

Recipient committees and disclosed contributor names are not in these headline facts. Use the Yale University 2012 overlay for those rows.

8.10% of the YALE UNIVERSITY parent book

The parent grouping YALE UNIVERSITY totals $4,982,646 across every cycle in this table. 2012 holds $403,563, or 8.10% of that book. Other windows hold $4,579,083 (91.9%). Reading only 2012 understates the parent; reading only the parent hides this two-year cell.

Mean gift size near $696 and mean per donor near $2,018 belong to this cell only. They are not restated as the parent’s typical gift.

Presidential-year window 2012

FEC cycle 2012 is the two-year federal clock labeled 2012. Inside that clock, Yale University is one employer/occupation grouping among many. The 2012 election cycle hub shows other strings in the same window. This page keeps Yale University and 2012 named together so neither hub is mistaken for the join. 580 contributions and 200 donors are counts on itemized receipts grouped to YALE UNIVERSITY in that window, not a workforce census.

YALE UNIVERSITY is grouped employer text, not Yale as a PAC filer and not a count of every instructor. YALE, YALE UNIV, and school-within-Yale spellings can be other keys. The Yale University 2012 overlay is the overlay. The Yale University industry page is the parent grouping. The 2012 election cycle page is the cycle census. All FEC ties lists other joins.

Outside the $403,563 total

USAspending rows for the same calendar years are a different dataset. This join does not claim that $403,563 funded federal awards, or that federal awards funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Geography or employer text on a contribution line does not convert the gift into an obligation.

Unitemized gifts and corporate treasury schedules are outside $403,563. LobbyVault does not treat 200 unique donors as a headcount of everyone associated with YALE UNIVERSITY in 2012. Mean gift size near $696 and mean per donor near $2,018 are ratios on this presidential-year cell. They are not a 10-K political-activity line. Do not read 2.9 lines per donor as a PAC deduction program. It is 580 ÷ 200 on this extract.

Doors out of the Yale University × 2012 page

Internal links go to Yale University 2012, the Yale University industry hub, the 2012 election cycle, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The overlay lists disclosed names and recipient committees. The industry hub holds $4,982,646. The cycle hub holds other employer strings in 2012.

YALE UNIVERSITY is grouped employer text, not Yale as a PAC filer and not a count of every instructor. YALE, YALE UNIV, and school-within-Yale spellings can be other keys.

Keep both join sides in every citation of the headline total. This /ties/ page is a snapshot of packet facts, not a substitute for live FEC.gov bulk files. Amended reports can move either side of the join; the newer extract controls. Internal links stay on the packet hrefs only. Unitemized activity and independent expenditures remain outside these totals.

Yale University in 2012 is $403,563, not $4,982,646. Cite both the employer/industry string and the cycle when quoting the cell.

Yale University × 2012 is a join page. Quote $403,563 only with both sides named. The presidential-year window labeled 2012 is not interchangeable with adjacent even-year clocks. 580 itemized lines and 200 unique donors are extract counts. Sibling keys mentioned as possibilities are not totals on this page. FEC.gov bulk files remain the underlying source; LobbyVault publishes grouped aggregates. Yale University × 2012 holds $403,563 from 200 donors and 580 lines, 8.10% of the $4,982,646 parent. Two hundred unique donors are not a headcount of Yale employees in 2012.
