Figures are based on itemized contributions reported to the Federal Election Commission and state agencies. Please note that:

• contributions under $200 are not reported, and so are not included in totals.
• only contributions from individuals and organizations to candidates are included. Various accounting measures and more exotic contribution types are excluded.
• contributions are matched based on organization and recipient name reported within each election cycle. Contributions using an incorrect or non-standard version of the name may be missed.
• corporate name changes and mergers may cause figures to differ from those of the Center for Responsive Politics.
• organization totals include known subsidiaries of the organization.

Figures are based on both committee earmark disclosures and on analysis of appropriations bill text. Table shows top 10 earmarks, ordered by dollar amount in the final version of the bill. Earmarks from the president's budget proposal are not included.
