Aristotle Databases
NATIONAL STATE/LOCAL DONOR file
Aristotle’s National State Donor file provides unrivaled accuracy for reaching a targeted audience. It’s the most comprehensive database of donors, comprised of over 190+ million donations and 35 million unique donors. The information contained in our state political contributions database is sourced from state financial disclosure reports for state and local campaigns, committees and PACs where they are required to file for that particular state.
FEDERAL ELECTION COMISSION DATABASE
In addition to our state donor database, we also collect the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Database. The database is comprised of contributions to congressional and presidential campaigns and committees. It also has donations to PACs and other committees. We receive daily feeds from the FEC and have an historic database going back years.
A Commitment to Data Quality
Aristotle’s commitment to providing a premier contributions database starts and ends with data quality:
- Frequent Updates. Aristotle produces an updated state donor file quarterly, and updates can be as frequent as daily for FEC Data.
- Standardization. Each month, we standardize all database addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses.
- Quality Control. We run strict quality control measures to ensure accuracy. For instance, in the National State Donor File, we run a series of hygiene processes to standardize names and addresses, flag for moved and deceased voters through the postal service’s National Change of Address (NCOA) and Social Security Administration (SSA) file, and more.
- Unique IDs. We create unique contribution IDs for individuals and unique IDs for each state donation record.
- Data Security. Data security and client confidentiality are of the upmost importance at Aristotle. Typically, our clients upload their data through our secure FTP server (SFTP), and files can be encrypted prior to sending. Additionally, we filter all traffic to/from our networks, with restricted and logged internet access.
