Lehman Brothers as a stored employer string shows $1,436,800 in itemized individual contributions for the 2008 cycle. Those receipts arrived in 801 contributions from 398 donors. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,758,084 (16.4% in 2008). The name is form text, not a Lehman PAC, not a bankruptcy estate, and not a securities NAICS total.
Key figures
- Lehman Brothers × 2008 is $1,436,800 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 801 contributions from 398 donors.
- 2008 is about 16.4% of the grouping’s $8,758,084 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text, not a Lehman PAC, not a bankruptcy estate, and not a securities NAICS total.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Legacy employer spelling × 2008
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Lehman Brothers and 2008 — sum to $1,436,800. 801 itemized contributions and 398 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.
Neither the Lehman Brothers hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Lehman Brothers as stored employer text in 2008 holds 801 lines from 398 donors. Successor labels and shorter LEHMAN BROS spellings keep their own cycle pages. This join does not recode alumni into a later bank name. LEHMAN BROS, LEHMAN BROTHERS INC, LEHMAN BROTHERS KUHN LOEB INC, and LEHMAN are other keys if stored separately.
16.4% of the Lehman Brothers roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,758,084 ($8.76 million). The 2008 slice of $1,436,800 is about 16.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 83.6% ($7,321,284). Treating 2008 as the Lehman Brothers FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $8,758,084 as the denominator for the 16.4% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $8,758,084.

Questions
- How much did Lehman Brothers donors give in 2008?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $1,436,800 in itemized individual contributions for the Lehman Brothers grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 801 contributions and 398 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,758,084 all-cycle figure.
- What share of Lehman Brothers FEC money is 2008?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,758,084. The 2008 cell of $1,436,800 is about 16.4% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 83.6% ($7,321,284) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Lehman Brothers hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Should successor or longer spellings be added to this 2008 total?
- No. This page is the stored string Lehman Brothers only. Successor labels and longer legal names are different groupings with their own cycle cells. Combining them would invent a total neither packet publishes as a join. The 2008 cell here is $1,436,800.
- Where is the overlay for the Lehman Brothers 2008 join?
- Open Lehman Brothers 2008 for the cycle overlay, Lehman Brothers for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
