$340,015 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the employer grouping 20th Century Fox. FEC.gov aggregates count 114 contributions from 35 donors. The same string totals $8,709,671 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 3.9% of the lifetime bucket — studio employer text including the 20TH token meeting a two-year window, not a studio PAC, a motion-picture NAICS rollup, or News Corp as a parent-string total.
Key figures
- 20th Century Fox × 2014 is $340,015 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 114 contributions from 35 donors.
- 2014 is about 3.9% of the grouping’s $8,709,671 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (studio employer text including the 20TH token), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
20th Century Fox as stored text, 2014 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — 20TH CENTURY FOX and 2014 — sum to $340,015. 114 itemized contributions and 35 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.
Neither the 20th Century Fox hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 20th Century Fox is studio employer text including the 20TH token, not a verified payroll file. 35 donors and 114 lines in 2014 matched that stored string. The 20TH token is part of the stored key. Expanding it to Twentieth or collapsing it to Fox moves the row to another grouping. Neighboring stored labels include FOX, FOX NEWS, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX, 21ST CENTURY FOX, and NEWS CORP. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $340,015.
The join exists so a reader does not treat $8,709,671 (all cycles for this string) as the 2014 story, and does not treat the 2014 cycle hub as a 20th Century Fox-only list. Two filters, one cell: $340,015.
3.9% of the 20th Century Fox roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,709,671. The 2014 slice of $340,015 is about 3.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.1% ($8,369,656). Treating 2014 as the entire 20th Century Fox FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $8,709,671 as the denominator for the 3.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $8,709,671. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure. The 3.9% ratio is $340,015 divided by $8,709,671. Other even-year joins for 20TH CENTURY FOX are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $8,369,656. Citing 2014 as if it were the 20th Century Fox lifetime total would overstate this cell by $8,369,656.
