Unique Donors

0

Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 02140 total $17,019,329 across 76,354 contributions. The leading zero is part of the New England postal code—North Cambridge, Massachusetts—and it is stored as five digits on FEC receipts. Figures come from FEC.gov filings indexed on LobbyVault. The ZIP is an address label, not a count of unique people and not a map of Cambridge municipal elections.

Key figures

  • ZIP 02140 FEC itemizations total $17,019,329.
  • 76,354 contributions list 02140 as the contributor ZIP, including the leading zero.
  • The contribution count is a receipt count, not a unique-donor total.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can be included in the ZIP total.

The $17,019,329 attached to 02140

Seventeen million nineteen thousand three hundred twenty-nine dollars is the sum of disclosed receipts that carried 02140 in the contributor ZIP field. Federal committees nationwide can appear as recipients. Massachusetts state and city races are generally outside this FEC extract unless a federal committee is involved.

Unitemized gifts never enter the $17,019,329 total. Itemized payroll deductions, earmarks, and large one-time gifts all do, if the reported ZIP was 02140. The number is a reporting aggregate. It is not a statement about university politics, and this packet contains no employer table to quote.

North Cambridge searchers should also remember that 02140 is not the only Cambridge ZIP, and this page does not compare it to others with extra numbers. The $17,019,329 and 76,354 figures are this code’s disclosed pair. Neighboring codes have their own hubs. Crossing those numbers here would invent facts the packet does not contain.

76,354 contributions as a dense receipt file

The extract counts 76,354 contributions for 02140. That is a high row volume at this dollar scale, closer to other dense academic-adjacent codes than to thin high-dollar ZIPs. High row volume usually means many separate itemizations—repeat givers, small disclosed gifts, and cycle-over-cycle repeats—without proving that pattern until the table is opened.

Seventy-six thousand rows is not a unique-donor census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent how many individuals live behind 02140. One person can occupy dozens of lines across committees and two-year periods.

Payroll-style repeats are common in dense academic-adjacent files. They make 76,354 look like a crowd when it may be fewer people giving often. Because this packet has no distinct-donor total, the only honest statement is the row count. The ZIP 02140 FEC page is where repeat names become visible without guessing a unique-person figure.

Questions

How much did ZIP 02140 contribute in FEC itemized totals?
Itemizations listing 02140 total $17,019,329 across 76,354 contributions. Keep the leading zero; it is part of the five-digit contributor ZIP on FEC receipts. The figures are disclosure aggregates, not a unique-person count of North Cambridge. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $17,019,329 and 76,354 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 02140 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.
Does 76,354 contributions mean 76,354 donors?
No. The number counts itemized rows. Repeat gifts and earmarks add rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not publish how many unique people gave from 02140. Names appear on the ZIP hub. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 76,354 remains a receipt count for ZIP 02140 even after the hub is open.
Can PAC money be inside the 02140 total?
Yes. FEC records the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses using 02140 can sit in the $17,019,329 sum with residential receipts. Read committee names on the ZIP 02140 FEC page. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 02140 lines before treating $17,019,329 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.
Where are 02140 receipts listed?
On the ZIP 02140 FEC page. Compare other codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $17,019,329 and 76,354 contributions tagged to ZIP 02140.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
