GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY as FEC employer text: $9.1 million

Contributors who listed GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY on federal itemized receipts account for $9,089,651, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 5,945 contributions from 297 donors. This is the ampersand-and-COMPANY spelling as stored, not the shorter GOLDMAN SACHS or GOLDMAN SACHS & CO keys, not a NAICS securities total, and not the firm’s PAC. Unique-donor count is among the smallest in this dollar band.

Key figures

  • GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY as FEC employer text totals $9,089,651 from 297 donors.
  • 5,945 contribution lines sit under that COMPANY spelling.
  • GOLDMAN SACHS and GOLDMAN SACHS & CO are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS securities sector or firm PAC.

A COMPANY legal form, not the short brand string

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY is the form committees stored when filers typed COMPANY rather than CO or the two-word brand. The $9,089,651 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Goldman Sachs’s disclosed PAC spending, not underwriting fees, and not a NAICS 5231 rollup of the securities industry.

GOLDMAN SACHS and GOLDMAN SACHS & CO are different hubs. People who typed GS as a ticker, INVESTMENT BANKER, or MORGAN STANLEY & CO INC sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this COMPANY spelling.

297 donors and 5,945 lines

297 unique donors produced 5,945 GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY contribution lines totaling $9,089,651. That is on the order of 20 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count is thinner than FIDELITY INVESTMENTS or ERNST & YOUNG LLP nearby in the ranking, so dollars concentrate among fewer named people. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $9,089,651 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 5,945 lines are expected.

Morgan Stanley, Salomon, and Fidelity stay separate

MORGAN STANLEY & CO INC, SALOMON BROTHERS INC, FIDELITY INVESTMENTS, and LEHMAN BROTHERS are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY would invent a broker recode. This page stays at $9,089,651 for this COMPANY spelling only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm — managing director, partner, analyst — as typed. BANKER and INVESTMENT BANKER still hold people who put the title in the employer box instead of this legal name.

Donor table without deal inference

The GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach an IPO, a trading desk, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type this COMPANY form remain in the 297.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the COMPANY spelling. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

GOLDMAN SACHS and GOLDMAN SACHS & CO stay out

GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY is not GOLDMAN SACHS, not GOLDMAN SACHS & CO, and not a ticker. Those strings sit on other keys. The $9,089,651 total, 5,945 contribution lines, and 297 donors describe this COMPANY spelling only. MORGAN STANLEY & CO INC and FIDELITY INVESTMENTS remain sibling firm-name rows. Unique-donor count is among the smaller sets in this dollar band.

Unitemized gifts, state races, independent expenditures that lack this employer string, and the firm PAC stay outside the $9,089,651. Occupation pages show titles beside the COMPANY form. Alumni who still type it remain in the 297. The FEC field is not an HR export and not NAICS 5231.

Open the GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY donor table for disclosed names and committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution, not an IPO or trading-desk inference.

Do not merge the short GOLDMAN SACHS row into this COMPANY spelling.

Researchers who want a Goldman family recode must list GOLDMAN SACHS and GOLDMAN SACHS & CO as separate additions. The $9,089,651 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY as 297 donors and 5,945 lines. MORGAN STANLEY & CO INC stays on its own page. Follow recipient committees on this COMPANY donor table. Unique-donor count is small relative to dollars. Party share is not computed on the industry headline.
