Key figures
- Bain Capital × 2010 is $328,023 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 99 contributions from 43 donors.
- 2010 is about 3.8% of the grouping’s $8,559,241 all-cycle total.

- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Bain Capital crossed with 2010
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Bain Capital and 2010 — sum to $328,023. 99 itemized contributions and 43 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. BAIN CAPITAL is grouped employer text. The 2010 filter keeps receipts in that cycle whose employer field collapsed to this key. It does not list funds, portfolio companies, or Form ADV registrations.
Neither the Bain Capital hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Bain Capital hub is the year index for this string. BAIN & COMPANY consulting labels and PRIVATE EQUITY occupation titles stay on their own keys if stored separately. Federal awards to portfolio firms on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.
3.8% of the Bain Capital roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8.6 million ($8,559,241). The 2010 slice of $328,023 is about 3.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.2%. Treating 2010 as the Bain Capital FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $8,559,241 as the denominator for the 3.8% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $8,559,241.
