How much did Bain Capital donors give in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $531,000 in itemized individual contributions for the Bain Capital grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 74 contributions and 31 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $8,559,241 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of Bain Capital FEC money is 2014?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,559,241. The 2014 cell of $531,000 is about 6.2% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.8% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Bain Capital hub holds other cycles; the 2014 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current Bain Capital employees or licensees?

Bain Capital and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Bain Capital as stored text, 2014 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Bain Capital and 2014 — sum to $531,000. 74 itemized contributions and 31 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. 2014 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Bain Capital hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Bain Capital is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 31 donors and 74 lines in 2014 matched that word. People who typed Bain alone or Bain & Company, the consulting firm sit in other buckets. BAIN, BAIN & COMPANY, BAIN AND COMPANY, and BAIN CAPITAL LP are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Bain Capital as stored.

6.2% of the Bain Capital roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,559,241. The 2014 slice of $531,000 is about 6.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.8%. Treating 2014 as the Bain Capital FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $8,559,241 as the denominator for the 6.2% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $8,559,241. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

74 contributions from 31 donors

Dividing $531,000 by 74 contributions yields about $7,176 per itemized gift. Dividing by 31 donors yields about $17,129 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.4. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim. The private-equity string and the consulting-firm string stay separate.

31 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Bain Capital 2014 holds the rows. Recipients can include candidate committees, party committees, leadership PACs, and Super PACs; this join does not split those buckets in the headline facts.

2014 as the cycle dimension

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Bain Capital is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Bain Capital to drop the year. Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $531,000 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday.

That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 74 contributions, the 31 unique donors, and the 6.2% share of $8,559,241. Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 31 donors, and 74 contributions.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $531,000. BAIN, BAIN & COMPANY, BAIN AND COMPANY, and BAIN CAPITAL LP are other keys. People who typed Bain alone or Bain & Company, the consulting firm are counted elsewhere unless the treasurer grouped them to this exact string. The private-equity string and the consulting-firm string stay separate. The page is not Bain Capital’s PAC and not Bain & Company’s consulting roll.

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Bain Capital is the spelling as committees stored it. Researchers who want a combined family of neighboring labels must recode after export. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not attach a motive, a client matter, or a federal award to the $531,000 cell.

Citing Bain Capital and 2014 together

Start with $531,000, then Bain Capital 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Bain Capital, 2014, $531,000, 74 contributions, 31 donors, 6.2% of $8,559,241, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 6.2% share, the 31-donor count, and the $7,176 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control. The join exists because two tables meet; it is not a restatement of one hub.
