Renaissance Technologies Corp meeting 2012
The employer hub stacks every cycle for Renaissance Technologies Corp. The 2012 cycle hub stacks every employer. This relationship page keeps the overlap: $1,697,100. Sixteen itemized gifts from two unique donors produced it. That is a two-key filter, not a finding that the firm directed the gifts.
Average contribution is about $106,069; average per donor is about $848,550. Those ratios describe a very small set of large itemized receipts. With only two donor keys, the cell is concentrated even though it is not a one-donor page.
Employer text is self-reported. Abbreviations such as RenTech or Renaissance Technologies may or may not sit in this same bucket depending on grouping.
Nine percent of an $18.5 million grouping
$18,544,108 is every cycle combined. $1,697,100 in 2012 is about 9.2% of that stack. Other windows still hold about 91%. A presidential-year cell near 9% is a substantial chapter for this employer string, not a majority of the lifetime total.
Lifetime scale this large, paired with a 2012 donor count of two, is consistent with a small number of people appearing across many cycles. This packet does not list those other years.
