FEC itemizations that carry ZIP 14850 on the contributor line add up to $17,291,545 across 101,637 contributions. That pairing—seventeen million dollars spread over more than one hundred thousand disclosed rows—is the fact this page starts from. The source is FEC.gov filings indexed on LobbyVault. The ZIP is the five-digit code on the receipt, not a claim that every row belongs to a year-round resident of the Ithaca-area code.

Key figures

  • ZIP 14850 FEC itemizations total $17,291,545.
  • The extract lists 101,637 contributions with contributor ZIP 14850.
  • The contribution count is a receipt count, not a unique-person total.
  • Joint-fundraising and PAC addresses can be included in the ZIP total.

A high itemization count behind $17,291,545

ZIP 14850 is unusual because the dollar total sits near $17.3 million while the contribution count reaches 101,637. Many ZIPs with similar dollar volume show far fewer rows. A large row count usually means the disclosed file contains many separate receipts—repeat payroll deductions, modest gifts, earmarks, and cycle-over-cycle repeats—rather than a handful of outsized transfers. The summary still cannot prove that pattern without opening the table.

The $17,291,545 total remains a sum of itemized lines that listed 14850. Unitemized gifts never enter this number. If a searcher only quotes the dollars and ignores the 101,637 count, the ZIP looks like any other $17 million code. The count is the local signature in this extract: volume of receipts, not a published unique-person figure.

What 101,637 contributions are and are not

One hundred one thousand six hundred thirty-seven is a receipt count. It is not a donor census. This packet’s donor field is not a usable unique-person total, so this guide does not invent how many individuals live behind the rows. A faculty member, a student who gave in two cycles, or a household that split gifts across committees can each occupy several lines.

Joint-fundraising committees and PACs that file from 14850 would also inflate both dollars and rows if their address uses this ZIP. The 14850 hub is where those committee names become visible. Until a row is inspected, the safe statement is only that FEC disclosure tagged 101,637 itemizations to this five-digit code.

Questions

How much federal money is tagged to ZIP 14850?
FEC itemizations listing 14850 as the contributor ZIP total $17,291,545. That amount is the sum of disclosed receipts in the extract, not an estimate of unitemized giving and not a unique-donor total. The companion count is 101,637 contributions carrying the same five-digit ZIP.
Why does ZIP 14850 have 101,637 contributions?
The 101,637 figure is how many itemized rows list 14850. Repeat gifts, payroll deductions, and earmarks each add a row. The packet does not include a distinct-donor count, so the high row volume should not be read as 101,637 people. The ZIP hub shows the actual receipts.
Can PAC filings be inside the 14850 total?
Yes. The FEC ZIP is the five-digit code on the contribution record. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses in 14850 can sit in the same $17,291,545 total as gifts that list a home address. Check committee names on the ZIP 14850 FEC page before treating the sum as household-only.
Where are the 14850 itemizations listed?
On the ZIP 14850 FEC page, which sits behind the $17,291,545 and 101,637 summary. Browse other codes on the all-ZIP index, and use the donor directory for name search across the FEC file. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $17,291,545 and 101,637 contributions tagged to ZIP 14850.

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