$5,000,000 in itemized individual contributions is the join between the San Diego Chargers grouping and PROGRESS FOR AMERICA VOTER FUND (C00435040). That cell covers 125 contributions. The grouping totals $5,718,773; this committee is 87.4% of that labeled book. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS is filer-entered employer text — not the franchise’s operating account, not a stadium bond, and not independent-expenditure spending by the Voter Fund.
Key figures
- Progress for America Voter Fund received $5,000,000 from San Diego Chargers-coded individual contributions across 125 itemized gifts.
- The San Diego Chargers grouping totals $5,718,773, so this committee accounts for about 87.4% of that labeled money.
- 125 lines average about $40,000 each; that mean is arithmetic on the packet, not a typical small gift.
- Figures are FEC itemized individual contributions, not independent expenditures or USAspending awards.
A franchise employer string meeting a $5,000,000 Voter Fund
San Diego Chargers is the grouped employer or occupation key. PROGRESS FOR AMERICA VOTER FUND is committee C00435040. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to SAN DIEGO CHARGERS and whose recipient is that committee. The $5,000,000 figure is the intersection.
125 contributions averaging about $40,000 ($5,000,000 ÷ 125) describe a sports-franchise employer string meeting a $5,000,000 Voter Fund cell. One hundred twenty-five lines averaging about $40,000 sum to a round $5,000,000. The packet does not name the filers or say whether they are owners, staff, or others using the franchise string.
The join exists so the industry hub ($5,718,773) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00435040 is the FEC committee ID on this URL.
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS as stored text
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS is filer-entered text. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS, CHARGERS, and a personal-name owner key can sit in other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $5,718,773.
The stored city is San Diego. A later relocation does not recode historical FEC employer text. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS, if present, is another key. This page does not merge those city prefixes.

Questions
- How much did San Diego Chargers-coded donors give the Voter Fund?
- FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions show $5,000,000 coded to the San Diego Chargers grouping and received by PROGRESS FOR AMERICA VOTER FUND (C00435040). That join covers 125 contributions. The broader grouping across all committees is $5,718,773. These figures are not independent expenditures.
- Did the Chargers franchise donate $5,000,000?
- No. The total is itemized individual contributions whose employer field grouped to SAN DIEGO CHARGERS. One hundred twenty-five lines averaging about $40,000 do not identify owners versus staff. Corporate treasury gifts, if any, are other schedules. Cite FEC.gov for $5,000,000 to PROGRESS FOR AMERICA VOTER FUND (C00435040) from the San Diego Chargers grouping, across 125 itemized contributions.
- What share of this franchise FEC money went to the Voter Fund?
- About 87.4% of the $5,718,773 San Diego Chargers total is in this join: $5,000,000 to Progress for America Voter Fund. About $718,773 went to other committees. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that the labeled entity directed the gifts.
- Why are there 125 contributions in a $5,000,000 cell?
- The packet lists 125 itemized contribution lines totaling $5,000,000, about $40,000 per line. That is a receipt count, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are not in this join. Use the C00435040 hub for other receipt types.
