208 donors and $4,438,148
Two hundred eight unique people produced 5,750 contributions, about 28 itemized gifts per donor. $4,438,148 ÷ 208 ≈ $21,337 per person, among the higher per-donor means in this wave, because the unique-person count is small. Mean contribution size is about $772. Those figures are arithmetic on the packet facts, not a typical bonus or a firm PAC budget.
Lazard, Lazard Ltd, and Lazard Frères with an accented e can exist as other keys. This page is LAZARD FRERES & CO without the accent. Top employer matches that spelling.
Punctuation as a cluster boundary
FEC free text keeps Freres versus Frères and “& CO” versus “LLC” as different strings when ingest treats them as different keys. Searchers should not assume $4,438,148 is every Lazard-affiliated filer on FEC.gov. It is this key only.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Occupation breakdowns still help for banker and managing-director titles.
What 5,750 contributions omit
No desk (M&A versus asset management), no party, no cycle year. Recipients are on FEC.gov and on the LAZARD FRERES & CO donor table.
Unique-donor count (208) is matching text, not a global headcount of the firm.
