Eshelman Ventures contributions received by OUR AMERICAN CENTURY

$7,000,000 in itemized individual contributions is the join between the ESHELMAN VENTURES employer grouping and OUR AMERICAN CENTURY (C00532630). That cell covers 13 contributions from FEC.gov individual filings. The employer grouping totals $7,132,320; this committee is about 98% of that ventures string. Near-total overlap is a table fact, not a biography of a venture office.

Key figures

  • OUR AMERICAN CENTURY received $7,000,000 from ESHELMAN VENTURES-coded individual gifts across 13 contributions.
  • The ESHELMAN VENTURES grouping totals $7,132,320, so this committee is about 98% of that labeled money.
  • About $538,462 per contribution is the mean of 13 itemized lines.
  • Near-total overlap is still a field match, not a corporate check and not USAspending awards.

Eshelman Ventures and Our American Century as a pair

ESHELMAN VENTURES is the grouped employer key. OUR AMERICAN CENTURY is committee C00532630. This page reports itemized individual gifts that carried both labels. The $7,000,000 figure is the intersection. The leftover $132,320 of the grouping ($7,132,320 minus $7,000,000) went to other committees.

VENTURES is stored as part of the name. Filers who typed a personal name, a pharmaceutical operating company, or ESHELMAN without VENTURES may sit in other keys if stored that way. The committee title OUR AMERICAN CENTURY is the FEC registered name, not a slogan applied to the 13 gifts.

Thirteen contributions totaling $7,000,000 is an extremely thin line count against a round $7 million cell.

Ninety-eight percent of the Eshelman Ventures grouping

The ESHELMAN VENTURES grouping shows $7,132,320 in itemized individual money. The Our American Century cell is $7,000,000, or about 98% of that total. Opening the industry hub without the committee filter would still be dominated by C00532630. The join makes that dominance explicit.

A 98% share does not prove the ventures office ran the committee or reimbursed the gifts. It shows how this employer string lined up against one committee ID.

13 lines into C00532630

OUR AMERICAN CENTURY received $7,000,000 from ESHELMAN VENTURES-coded receipts across 13 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $538,462 per contribution. That mean is arithmetic on 13 lines. A few large itemized gifts can dominate the average. The packet does not name donors or split the 13 rows by cycle.

The committee overlay includes other employers. Those rows are not in this join. Independent expenditures by C00532630, if filed, are outside this source note.

Venture-office labels and federal awards

This join does not prove that Eshelman Ventures funded Our American Century as a corporate treasury, and it does not connect the $7,000,000 to USAspending awards. Private investment offices and federal agencies are different ledgers. A ventures string on an FEC form is not a grant.

Correlation between a proper-name ventures grouping and a super PAC-style committee is a reporting pattern. Causation of election outcomes is not in the 13 lines.

Hubs for the ventures key and the committee

The Eshelman Ventures industry page keeps the $7,132,320 grouping and the small remainder that did not go to C00532630. The OUR AMERICAN CENTURY page keeps the committee. All industries ranks other ventures and family-office keys. All FEC ties lists neighboring cells so this 98% overlap is not mistaken for the committee’s entire file.

Thirteen lines totaling $7,000,000 produce about $538,462 per contribution, among the highest means in this slice. Means on 13-line files move sharply if a later refresh adds or drops a single gift. The leftover $132,320 ($7,132,320 minus $7,000,000) is the only ESHELMAN VENTURES-coded money in this grouping that did not go to C00532630. That remainder is why the share is 98% rather than 100%.

Thin-file means and a 2% remainder

Quote all four pieces: ESHELMAN VENTURES, OUR AMERICAN CENTURY (C00532630), $7,000,000, 13 itemized contributions, against $7,132,320. Dropping the 13-line count makes $7,000,000 look like a single treasury check. Dropping the $7,132,320 denominator makes 98% look like 100%. Both shortcuts hide structure the table still has.

VENTURES is part of the stored name. ESHELMAN without VENTURES, if indexed, is another key. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures by C00532630, if filed, are omitted. USAspending is omitted. The committee overlay includes other employers not in these 13 lines. All FEC ties is the place to compare other 13-line, seven-figure cells without merging their employer keys. Keep VENTURES in the citation so an ESHELMAN-only row, if indexed, remains separate. The 13-line count belongs next to $7,000,000. The leftover $132,320 of $7,132,320 is why the share is 98% rather than 100%. Unitemized gifts stay omitted. Means on 13-line files are unstable.
