Two donor keys, 75 lines
Seventy-five receipts on two people-keys is a high lines-per-donor ratio: 37.5 on average. Dollars per line average about $41,929. Dollars per donor average about $1,572,350. That shape often appears when a small number of people give to many committees or when joint-fundraising and Super PAC receipts multiply Schedule A rows. The facts count the rows. They do not name the committees.
The $3,144,700 cell is still individual money tagged to this employer string. It is not the fund’s AUM, not a 13F, and not a PAC. Employees or principals who listed a different legal name sit in other keys.
Seventy-five Schedule A lines on two donor keys is a filing pattern that often puzzles first-time readers. Joint fundraising splits, contributions to many committees, and Super PAC receipts all multiply rows without multiplying people. The facts for 2014 are $3,144,700, 75 lines, 2 donors, 12.2% of $25,784,037. Dollars per line about $41,929 and dollars per donor about $1,572,350 are that arithmetic. They are not AUM and not a 13F position list.
12.2% of the Baupost Group Inc roll
Twenty-five million seven hundred eighty-four thousand thirty-seven dollars is the grouping across all cycles. $3,144,700 is 12.2% of that. A midterm taking about one-eighth of a named-fund key is a meaningful slice without being the lifetime figure. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 87.8%.
The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $25,784,037.
