$184,355 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the employer grouping Goldman Sachs Co. FEC.gov aggregates count 50 contributions from 13 donors. The same string totals $1,608,735 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 11.5% of the lifetime bucket — investment-bank employer text meeting a two-year window, not Goldman Sachs PAC, Goldman Sachs Group Inc as a corporate treasury, or every GS / Goldman Sachs LLP spelling stored as a separate key.

Key figures

  • Goldman Sachs Co × 2008 is $184,355 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 50 contributions from 13 donors.
  • 2008 is about 11.5% of the grouping’s $1,608,735 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text (investment-bank employer text), not Goldman Sachs PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Goldman Sachs Co as stored text, 2008 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — GOLDMAN SACHS CO and 2008 — sum to $184,355. 50 itemized contributions and 13 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 Goldman Sachs Co hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Goldman Sachs Co is investment-bank employer text, not a verified payroll file. 13 donors and 50 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string GOLDMAN SACHS CO.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $1,608,735 (all cycles for this string) as the 2008 story, and does not treat the 2008 cycle hub as a Goldman Sachs Co-only list. Two filters, one cell: $184,355.

11.5% of the Goldman Sachs Co roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $1,608,735. The 2008 slice of $184,355 is about 11.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 88.5% ($1,424,380). Treating 2008 as the entire Goldman Sachs Co FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $1,608,735 as the denominator for the 11.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $1,608,735. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
