Dimensional Fund Adv and the 2014 FEC cycle

Dimensional Fund Adv as stored text, 2014 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — DIMENSIONAL FUND ADV and 2014 — sum to $321,500. 20 itemized contributions and 2 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. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the Dimensional Fund Adv hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Dimensional Fund Adv is investment-adviser employer text as abbreviated on FEC forms, not a verified payroll file. 2 donors and 20 lines in 2014 matched that stored string. ADV is the stored abbreviation. Spelling out Advisors is a different key. Two unique donor identities produced 20 itemized lines; this file does not name them. Neighboring stored labels include DIMENSIONAL FUND ADVISORS, DFA, DIMENSIONAL, and DIMENSIONAL FUND ADVISOR. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $321,500.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $8,276,720 (all cycles for this string) as the 2014 story, and does not treat the 2014 cycle hub as a Dimensional Fund Adv-only list. Two filters, one cell: $321,500.

3.9% of the Dimensional Fund Adv roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,276,720. The 2014 slice of $321,500 is about 3.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.1% ($7,955,220). Treating 2014 as the entire Dimensional Fund Adv FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $8,276,720 as the denominator for the 3.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $8,276,720. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure. The 3.9% ratio is $321,500 divided by $8,276,720. Other even-year joins for DIMENSIONAL FUND ADV are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $7,955,220. Citing 2014 as if it were the Dimensional Fund Adv lifetime total would overstate this cell by $7,955,220.

20 contributions from 2 donors

Dividing $321,500 by 20 contributions yields about $16,075 per itemized gift. Dividing by 2 donors yields about $160,750 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 10.0. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe. The donor count is 2, so a small set of identities accounts for the 20 lines; this file still does not name them.

2 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. A mean of $16,075 per itemized line and $160,750 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 20 contributions remaining larger than 2 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

2014 as the cycle dimension

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Dimensional Fund Adv 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 Dimensional Fund Adv to drop the year. 2014 is a midterm even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain $321,500.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $321,500 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 20 contributions, the 2 unique donors, and the 3.9% share of $8,276,720. FEC cycle 2014 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $321,500 if they were itemized against DIMENSIONAL FUND ADV. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $321,500. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is investment-adviser employer text as abbreviated on FEC forms, not a Dimensional Fund Advisors PAC, an AUM figure, or DIMENSIONAL FUND ADVISORS spelled out as a sibling key.

Correlation between an employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 2 donors, and 20 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control. Dimensional Fund Adv as investment-adviser employer text as abbreviated on FEC forms can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $321,500. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.

Citing Dimensional Fund Adv and 2014 together

Start with $321,500, then Dimensional Fund Adv 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: DIMENSIONAL FUND ADV, 2014, $321,500, 20 contributions, 2 donors, 3.9% of $8,276,720, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 3.9% share, the 2-donor count, and the $16,075 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling employer word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. 20 itemized contributions totaling $321,500 average about $16,075 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

Questions

How much did the Dimensional Fund Adv grouping report in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $321,500 in itemized individual contributions for the Dimensional Fund Adv grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 20 contributions and 2 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,276,720 all-cycle figure. Independent expenditures are not included.

Does this page name the two 2014 donors?

No. This JSON file reports 2 unique donors and does not publish names. The overlay holds itemized rows. Inventing a person would go beyond the packet.

Open Dimensional Fund Adv 2014 for the cycle overlay, Dimensional Fund Adv for the grouping hub, and the 2014 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.
