What $16,379,743 on 15217 represents
The dollar total is the sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 15217. Federal candidates and PACs in any state can receive that money. Pennsylvania state and Pittsburgh municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the $16,379,743 figure.
Sixty-one thousand rows under that total is a long receipt file. Long files usually mix modest itemized gifts, repeat names, and some larger lines. This page will not publish an average or a party split, because those cuts are not in the packet. The 15217 hub is the place to see mix.
Pittsburgh 15217 in Squirrel Hill produced $16,379,743 across 61,429 contributions. Congregation and university-adjacent mail shares the ZIP with houses. The FEC ZIP field does not encode those institutions as a category. Committee names do, when the filer is a committee.
61,429 itemizations without a headcount
The extract lists 61,429 contributions for 15217. That count is how many disclosed rows share the ZIP. It is not how many unique donors live in Squirrel Hill, and this packet does not include a distinct-person total. Monthly gifts and earmarks each add a row.
Treat 61,429 as an inventory size. A searcher who needs a person should filter the ZIP table or use the donor directory. Dividing $16,379,743 by the row count is not an FEC-published typical gift, and this guide will not present it as one.
Pennsylvania state and Pittsburgh municipal filings are not this extract. Adding them to $16,379,743 invents a total. Keep the 61,429 contributions in the FEC sentence. Local figures need local sources.

Questions
- What is the FEC contribution total for ZIP 15217?
- Itemizations listing 15217 total $16,379,743 across 61,429 contributions. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Squirrel Hill and not a Pittsburgh local-filing total. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $16,379,743 and 61,429 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 15217 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.
- Does 61,429 contributions mean 61,429 people donated?
- No. The number counts itemized receipts. Repeat givers and earmarks add rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. Names appear on the ZIP 15217 FEC page. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 61,429 remains a receipt count for ZIP 15217 even after the hub is open.
- Can PAC addresses be inside the 15217 total?
- Yes. FEC stores the ZIP on the contribution record. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC mail using 15217 can sit inside the $16,379,743 sum with residential gifts. Committee names on the hub identify those receipts. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 15217 lines before treating $16,379,743 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.
- Where can I read 15217 itemizations?
- On the ZIP 15217 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $16,379,743 and 61,429 contributions tagged to ZIP 15217.
ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
