$1,580,300 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the Founders Fund employer grouping. Two donors and 53 contributions produced that sum on FEC.gov individual records. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,586,174, so this midterm window holds about 28.3% of the lifetime bucket — a concentrated venture-firm employer string, not a fund-level political account.

Key figures

  • $1,580,300 joins Founders Fund to the 2014 FEC cycle.
  • 53 contributions from 2 donors concentrate the cell.
  • 2014 is about 28.3% of the grouping’s $5,586,174 lifetime total.
  • Employer tags on individual receipts are not PAC filings or USAspending awards.

Founders Fund crossed with 2014

The employer hub stacks every cycle for Founders Fund. The 2014 cycle hub stacks every employer. This page keeps the overlap: $1,580,300. Fifty-three itemized gifts from two unique donors produced it. The relationship is a filter pair, not a finding that the firm ran a giving program.

Average contribution is about $29,817; average per donor is about $790,150. Those ratios describe a small set of large itemized receipts. With only two donor keys, one person can still dominate the cell without reducing the donor count to one.

Employer text is self-reported. Related spellings of the firm name may or may not sit in this same bucket.

More than a quarter of the grouping’s FEC total

$5,586,174 is every cycle combined. $1,580,300 in 2014 is about 28.3% of that stack. Other windows still hold about 72%. A midterm cell above 28% is a major chapter for this modest lifetime bucket, but it is not the entire employer story.

The industry hub is the place to compare 2014 with other cycles. This tie only certifies the 2014 arithmetic.

Did the fund itself donate $1,580,300?
