Cornell University contributions received by Unite the Country
Filers whose employer field grouped to CORNELL UNIVERSITY sent $1,000,000 in itemized gifts to UNITE THE COUNTRY (C00701888) across 184 contribution lines. Cornell University as stored text totals $5,990,437 on every committee in this table; 16.7% of that book sits here. FEC.gov is the source. Independent expenditures stay outside $1,000,000.
Key figures
- Unite the Country received $1,000,000 from Cornell University-coded individual contributions across 184 itemized gifts.
- The Cornell University grouping totals $5,990,437, so this committee accounts for about 16.7% of that labeled money.
- 184 lines average about $5,435 each; that mean is arithmetic on the packet, not a typical gift.
- CORNELL UNIVERSITY is FEC stored text (university employer text, not a campus treasury), not a unique-donor census.
- Figures are FEC itemized individual contributions, not independent expenditures or USAspending awards.
The Cornell University × Unite the Country overlap
LobbyVault stores employer/industry strings separately from committees. Crossing them for Cornell University and Unite the Country yields $1,000,000. That is 184 itemized lines. The figure is not a committee disbursement and not a company political budget.
Keep $5,990,437 on the Cornell University hub and keep C00701888 for receipts from every employer. Only the overlap is $1,000,000. About 16.7% of the grouping sits here; $4,990,437 (83.3%) does not.
Because the grouping is university employer text, not a campus treasury, the cell is a text match. Household members and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.
Cornell University is firm-like form text
On FEC Form 3, employer and occupation are typed fields. CORNELL UNIVERSITY survived grouping as Cornell University. That is not a Dunn-style firm ID and not a donor page. People who typed a longer legal name sit elsewhere.
For a firm string, the usual error is treating $5,990,437 as a company political budget. $5,990,437 is summed itemized individual receipts that matched this text. $1,000,000 is the slice that also matched C00701888. The 16.7% ratio is $1,000,000 divided by $5,990,437. Other committee joins for CORNELL UNIVERSITY are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $4,990,437. Citing Unite the Country as if it were the Cornell University lifetime total would overstate this cell by $4,990,437.
What C00701888 holds besides this cell
The committee hub still contains every other employer string. This tie keeps Cornell University on. Without an all-employer committee total in the facts, $1,000,000 cannot be turned into a percent of Unite the Country national receipts.
16.7% remains a share of the Cornell University grouping ($5,990,437), not a share of C00701888. Mixing those denominators is the usual citation error. A mean of $5,435 per itemized line can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median and no unique-donor count. 184 contributions remain a line count, not a headcount.
Where $4,990,437 still sits
After this cell of $1,000,000, $4,990,437 of the Cornell University grouping remains on other committees. That remainder is 83.3% of $5,990,437. The Unite the Country page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.
Percentages here use packet facts only. No committee-wide denominator is supplied, so no “share of Unite the Country” claim is possible. 16.7% is Cornell University-internal. Cornell University as university employer text, not a campus treasury can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $1,000,000. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.
Form text is not a payroll file
FEC employer fields are typed by filers. CORNELL UNIVERSITY is stored as written for this grouping. The Commission does not verify employment, professional licenses, or corporate identity on this aggregate. Cornell University here is university employer text, not a campus treasury.
PAC filings, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other tables. USAspending obligations are another database entirely. $1,000,000 does not fund federal awards, and federal awards do not explain $1,000,000. Quote both keys: Cornell University and Unite the Country. Quote the dollars: $1,000,000. Quote the volume: 184 contributions. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out.
A citation template for this join
Suggested citation: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, employer/industry grouping CORNELL UNIVERSITY, recipient committee UNITE THE COUNTRY (C00701888), $1,000,000, 184 contributions (16.7% of $5,990,437 stored for the string).
Do not append NAICS codes, USAspending dollars, or named donors. Those facts are not in the packet. If a later overlay revises $1,000,000, the overlay controls. Unitemized individual gifts never enter $1,000,000. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements are other FEC tables. Sharing a company-like string does not merge those ledgers with C00701888. Restating the join without new numbers: Cornell University at Unite the Country is $1,000,000 from 184 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The same string stores $5,990,437 across committees, so this recipient is about 16.7% and other committees hold $4,990,437 (83.3%). The grouping is university employer text, not a campus treasury, not Cornell University as an institutional PAC, a federal research-award file, or a named-faculty page. No donor names, unique-donor count, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $5,435. That mean is arithmetic, not a median. Independent expenditures remain outside $1,000,000.
