GOLDMAN SACHS as FEC employer text: $44.0M

A company name in the industry ranking

Unlike RETIRED or ATTORNEY, this row is an employer proper name. LobbyVault still ranks it in the industry table because the same field holds both job titles and company names. The $44.0M figure is itemized individual gifts tagged with this spelling — not Goldman Sachs's own political spending, not D&O contributions as certified by the firm, and not a 13F.

NAICS 523 is not applied. People who typed INVESTMENTS or INVESTOR instead of the bank name are in other rows.

2,455 donors and 35,102 lines

2,455 donors produced 35,102 GOLDMAN SACHS contribution lines totaling $44.0M. Repeat giving explains receipts above unique donors. The list is larger than the GOLDMAN SACHS & CO sibling (550 donors on that page) because more filers omit the '& CO'.

Party share is not on this industry headline. Corporate and PAC activity, if disclosed elsewhere, is not inside $44.0M.

The '& CO' variant

GOLDMAN SACHS & CO is a separate LobbyVault industry key with its own dollar total. Adding the two in a notebook is a researcher recode. This page's $44.0M does not include the ampersand form.

Occupation pages show titles (analyst, partner, vice president) next to this employer. Those titles are not a NAICS overlay here. Brand spelling without & CO is the larger unique-donor list: 2,455 people and 35,102 lines totaling $44.0M. It is still not every Goldman legal name. GSAM-style abbreviations, if typed, would be other keys. INVESTOR remains a generic-title row, not this bank.

Donor table

The GOLDMAN SACHS donor table lists disclosed names and amounts. A large gift is a public individual contribution. It is not evidence of a client deal or a regulatory outcome. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the employer name.

Alumni who left the firm but still typed the name, and current staff, can share the same string. The FEC field is not an HR roster. Current HR rosters are private. FEC text is public and stale by nature. A donor who left the firm last year can still appear among the 2,455. LobbyVault does not expire the employer string.

Follow recipient committees from the table. Compare receipt intensity with MICROSOFT only as a filing-pattern contrast, not as a culture score. Both are employer-name keys in the same table. Dollars here are $44.0M for this spelling.

Corporate family names this row does not include

GOLDMAN SACHS as typed is not every Goldman legal entity. The $44.0M total, 35,102 contribution lines, and 2,455 donors omit GOLDMAN SACHS & CO, GSAM-style abbreviations, and INVESTOR. They also omit the firm's PAC and corporate treasury. Unitemized gifts and state races are omitted. LobbyVault does not certify current employment from a typed bank name.

Occupation pages show analyst, partner, and other titles next to this employer. Alumni who still type GOLDMAN SACHS remain in the string. Open the donor table for names and committees. The employer text is self-reported FEC text, not NAICS 523, from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. PAC and independent-expenditure filings are other documents. Cite $44.0M as itemized individual receipts tagged GOLDMAN SACHS, from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not as the bank's political budget. The shorter GOLDMAN SACHS spelling has the larger unique-donor list (2,455 people, 35,102 lines, $44.0M) because more filers omit & CO. It is still not every Goldman legal name and not an HR roster. INVESTOR and INVESTMENTS remain generic-word rows. Receipt intensity is lower than MICROSOFT's a separate line count lines; that contrast is a filing pattern, not a culture score. PAC and independent-expenditure documents are separate. Alumni remain in the string after they leave. Occupation pages show titles next to this employer. Unitemized gifts and state races are omitted. Cite $44.0M as this employer spelling from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not the bank's political budget. Brand searchers who skip the & CO page still miss that sibling spelling's donors and dollars. This shorter-name page is $44.0M, 2,455 donors, 35,102 lines. INVESTOR as a generic title is a third finance key. HR will not certify the 2,455 as current staff. Independent-expenditure and PAC filings are other documents. Occupation pages list titles next to GOLDMAN SACHS. Unitemized gifts stay out. Cite this spelling from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a bank-wide political budget.

Questions

How much have GOLDMAN SACHS-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $44.0M to the GOLDMAN SACHS employer string, from 35,102 contributions and 2,455 donors. GOLDMAN SACHS & CO is a separate row.

Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Is this Goldman Sachs corporate spending?

No. These are itemized individual contributions whose employer text is GOLDMAN SACHS. Corporate treasury and committee PACs are other FEC categories. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Why is there a GOLDMAN SACHS & CO page too?

Because FEC employer fields are literal. The ampersand-and-CO spelling is a different stored string with a different dollar total. LobbyVault does not merge them. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

The rollup counts 2,455 donors and 35,102 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the firm. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
