Grant Thornton LLP meeting Grant Thornton Advisors PAC
Grant Thornton LLP is the grouped employer or occupation key. THE GRANT THORNTON ADVISORS LLC POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE is committee C00408260. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to GRANT THORNTON LLP and whose recipient is that committee. The $3,173,625 figure is the intersection. Cite FEC.gov. Independent expenditures are not this cell.
11,917 contributions averaging about $266 ($3,173,625 ÷ 11,917) describe this connected-PAC cell. Mean gift size is arithmetic on the packet, not a median and not a party split. FEC individual records do not prove payroll deduction, reimbursement, or that the named organization directed the gifts.
The join exists so the industry hub ($3,887,635) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00408260 is the FEC committee ID on this URL. Other employers giving to Grant Thornton Advisors PAC appear on the committee hub; adding them here would break the 11,917-line filter.
GRANT THORNTON LLP as stored text
GRANT THORNTON LLP is filer-entered text. Related legal names, suffixes, and abbreviations can sit in other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $3,887,635. Occupations without this employer string are other hubs.
The grouping total $3,887,635 is every itemized individual receipt indexed to this string across committees. $3,173,625 is the slice that named THE GRANT THORNTON ADVISORS LLC POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE. That is a reporting overlap, not proof that Grant Thornton LLP as an entity allocated 81.6% of a political budget to this committee.
