Hi Paul, Why not use the STF3 file by zip code data http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/zipstats.html and combine it with the FEC individual file data by zip code?

Subject: [POLMETH] Addresses --> Census data
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:01:53 -0700
Colleagues
I have a senior writing a thesis who would like to track changing
patterns of campaign donations. He's interested in replicating and
extending Michael Malbin's work on how patterns of donations have
changed over the past few cycles.
I would like him to attach Census demographic information to the FEC
campaign donations dataset (actually, he's downloaded these from open
secrets).
I am not familiar with how you attach a Census tract or block
identifier to an address, and if this can be done in a relatively
straightforward (and not overly expensive) way. The student is fairly
adept with Stata but not tremendously so. This is something I'm not
averse to learning myself, but I am hoping to find an off the shelf
solution, or perhaps someone that has already done with with the 2008,
2004, and 2000 files and might be willing to share a dataset.
Thank you
Paul G.
