$308,865 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the employer grouping Grant Thornton LLP. FEC.gov aggregates count 441 contributions from 239 donors. The same string totals $3,887,635 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 7.9% of the lifetime bucket — accounting-firm employer text including the LLP suffix meeting a two-year window, not a Grant Thornton PAC, GRANT THORNTON without LLP as a sibling, or an accounting NAICS rollup.
Key figures
- Grant Thornton LLP × 2014 is $308,865 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 441 contributions from 239 donors.
- 2014 is about 7.9% of the grouping’s $3,887,635 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (accounting-firm employer text including the LLP suffix), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Grant Thornton LLP as stored text, 2014 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — GRANT THORNTON LLP and 2014 — sum to $308,865. 441 itemized contributions and 239 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 Grant Thornton LLP hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Grant Thornton LLP is accounting-firm employer text including the LLP suffix, not a verified payroll file. 239 donors and 441 lines in 2014 matched that stored string. The LLP token is part of this stored key. Dropping it is a different grouping. Two hundred thirty-nine donor identities produced 441 lines — a high identity count relative to dollars. Neighboring stored labels include GRANT THORNTON, GRANT THORNTON LLP., GT LLP, and named Grant Thornton member firms. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $308,865.
The join exists so a reader does not treat $3,887,635 (all cycles for this string) as the 2014 story, and does not treat the 2014 cycle hub as a Grant Thornton LLP-only list. Two filters, one cell: $308,865.
7.9% of the Grant Thornton LLP roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $3,887,635. The 2014 slice of $308,865 is about 7.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 92.1% ($3,578,770). Treating 2014 as the entire Grant Thornton LLP FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $3,887,635 as the denominator for the 7.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $3,887,635. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure. The 7.9% ratio is $308,865 divided by $3,887,635. Other even-year joins for GRANT THORNTON LLP are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,578,770. Citing 2014 as if it were the Grant Thornton LLP lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,578,770.
