BANK OF AMERICA

Bank of America crossed with 2014

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Bank of America and 2014 — sum to $476,175. 463 itemized contributions and 213 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. This page joins the employer grouping Bank of America to cycle 2014; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the Bank of America hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 213 unique donors and 463 lines in 2014 sit under the stored string BANK OF AMERICA. BANK OF AMERICA CORP, BOA, MERRILL LYNCH, and BANKAMERICA stay on their own keys if filers used them. Treasury, Ginnie Mae, or other financial-services USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

4.1% of the Bank of America roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $11,582,158 ($11.6 million). The 2014 slice of $476,175 is about 4.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.9%, or $11,105,983. Treating 2014 as the Bank of America FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $476,175 when the sentence is about 2014. Quote $11,582,158 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Treat $11,582,158 as the denominator for the 4.1% 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 2014 from being folded silently into $11,582,158. 4.1% is $476,175 divided by $11,582,158. Rounding to $476,175 and $11.6 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.
