First Boston Corp political money — 2008 cycle

Legacy employer spelling × 2008

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — First Boston Corp and 2008 — sum to $719,438. 412 itemized contributions and 95 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.

Neither the First Boston Corp hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. First Boston Corp as stored employer text in 2008 holds 412 lines from 95 donors. Successor Credit Suisse labels keep their own cycle pages. This join does not recode alumni into a later legal name. CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, CSFB, FIRST BOSTON, and CREDIT SUISSE are other keys if stored separately.

8.5% of the First Boston Corp roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,479,481 ($8.48 million). The 2008 slice of $719,438 is about 8.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 91.5% ($7,760,043). Treating 2008 as the First Boston Corp FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $8,479,481 as the denominator for the 8.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $8,479,481.

412 contributions from 95 donors

412 receipts on 95 donors average 4.3 lines per donor. Dollars per line average about $1,746. Dollars per donor average about $7,573. That shape often appears when a smaller set of people give to several committees or when joint-fundraising receipts multiply Schedule A rows. The facts count the rows. They do not name the committees.

95 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of a payroll. Household members who reuse a workplace can appear. The Commission does not certify employment. Unitemized gifts never enter $719,438. The overlay for First Boston Corp 2008 holds the rows.

2008 as the cycle dimension

The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. First Boston Corp is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and First Boston Corp to drop the year. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain $719,438.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $719,438 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 412 contributions, the 95 unique donors, and the 8.5% share of $8,479,481.

Why successor labels stay off this page

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $719,438. 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 not a successor-bank PAC and not a securities NAICS total.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 95 donors, and 412 contributions. Ninety-five unique donors on 412 lines is a high receipts-per-person ratio for a legacy spelling. The facts count the rows. They do not name the committees. Cite the exact First Boston Corp string only. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing First Boston Corp and 2008 together

Start with $719,438, then First Boston Corp 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: First Boston Corp, 2008, $719,438, 412 contributions, 95 donors, 8.5% of $8,479,481, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string FIRST BOSTON CORP.

The 8.5% share, the 95-donor count, and the $1,746 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.

Questions

How much did First Boston Corp donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $719,438 in itemized individual contributions for the First Boston Corp grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 412 contributions and 95 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,479,481 all-cycle figure.

What share of First Boston Corp FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,479,481. The 2008 cell of $719,438 is about 8.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 91.5% ($7,760,043) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the First Boston Corp hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Should successor or longer spellings be added to this 2008 total?

No. This page is the stored string First Boston Corp only. Successor labels and longer legal names are different groupings with their own cycle cells. Combining them would invent a total neither packet publishes as a join. The 2008 cell here is $719,438.

Where is the overlay for the First Boston Corp 2008 join?

Open First Boston Corp 2008 for the cycle overlay, First Boston Corp for the grouping hub, and the 2008 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.
