Key figures

  • GENERAL PARTNER occupation itemizations sum to $9,486,497 from 4,469 contributions and 569 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $2,123 per contribution and about $16,672 per donor record.
  • The rank phrase is stored separately from PARTNER unless the extract merged them.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

Compact partnership rank, four-figure mean gift

$9,486,497, 4,469 itemizations, and 569 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $2,123. Mean dollars per donor record are about $16,672. Repeat giving is about 8 itemizations per donor record.

4,469 lines from 569 records is a concentrated partnership-rank stack: few donor records, large arithmetic means. The per-donor mean of about $16,672 is not a typical carry check redirected to politics.

The packet has no fund-size field, no GP-versus-LP split, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can dominate the average.

GENERAL PARTNER is not PARTNER

The FEC record does not verify a partnership agreement. Law-firm partners, PE GPs, and people using PARTNER alone sit on other keys unless the extract merged them. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $9,486,497, 4,469 contributions, and 569 donors. PARTNER, MANAGING PARTNER, and PRIVATE EQUITY remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.
