GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY

A COMPANY legal form, not the short brand string

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY is the form committees stored when filers typed COMPANY rather than CO or the two-word brand. The $9,089,651 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Goldman Sachs’s disclosed PAC spending, not underwriting fees, and not a NAICS 5231 rollup of the securities industry.

GOLDMAN SACHS and GOLDMAN SACHS & CO are different hubs. People who typed GS as a ticker, INVESTMENT BANKER, or MORGAN STANLEY & CO INC sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this COMPANY spelling.

297 donors and 5,945 lines

297 unique donors produced 5,945 GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY contribution lines totaling $9,089,651. That is on the order of 20 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count is thinner than FIDELITY INVESTMENTS or ERNST & YOUNG LLP nearby in the ranking, so dollars concentrate among fewer named people. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $9,089,651 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 5,945 lines are expected.

Questions

How much have GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $9,089,651 to the GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY employer string, from 5,945 contributions and 297 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the firm’s PAC and not a NAICS securities total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.

Is this the same as GOLDMAN SACHS or GOLDMAN SACHS & CO?

No. Those are shorter employer strings with separate hubs. The $9,089,651 total is only receipts whose grouped text is GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY. LobbyVault does not merge the spellings. Figures here are limited to this FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this Goldman Sachs corporate political spending?

No. These are itemized individual contributions whose employer text grouped to this COMPANY spelling. Corporate treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is federal itemized receipts only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

How many unique donors listed this COMPANY spelling?

The rollup counts 297 donors and 5,945 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 20 itemized receipts per donor. This is not an employee headcount from the firm. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.
