FOR OUR FUTURE Super PAC — 2016 cycle receipts

FOR OUR FUTURE joined to cycle 2016

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is FOR OUR FUTURE (C00620971), stored as an independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The other is election cycle 2016. $48,947,569.67 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2016 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not FOR OUR FUTURE's receipts in any other even-year window. Other future-titled committees are other IDs. This join is C00620971 in 2016 only.

LobbyVault does not treat this URL as a donor-detail page. No contributor names appear in the packet. The packet flags isSuperPac 1, so Super PAC is the correct label on this join. Source: FEC.gov. Campaign contributions are not USAspending obligations; this join does not claim that $48,947,569.67 funded federal awards. Committee designation is stored as U (unauthorized (designation U)). Cash on hand in the packet is $610,668.26. Individual contributions stored for this cell are $19,924,215.08.

C00620971 as type O, isSuperPac 1

Committee C00620971 files as FOR OUR FUTURE. Type O is an independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet flags isSuperPac 1, so Super PAC is the correct label on this join. The committee hub at /committees/C00620971/ mixes every cycle this committee appears in; this tie isolates 2016 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $48,947,569.67 would break the join. Individual contributions $19,924,215.08 against receipts $48,947,569.67 means most of the receipt column is not stored as individual contributions.

All committees at /committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00620971 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2016 total.

2016 presidential cycle besides this Super PAC

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2016 is that tag, not a single calendar year of January-only activity. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2016/ lists many committees; FOR OUR FUTURE is one row in that ranking extract. $48,947,569.67 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2016 is a presidential even-year tag. Other 2016 Super PACs remain other ties.

All FEC ties at /ties/ collect other committee × cycle pairs and other LobbyVault joins. Opening a sibling tie does not change $48,947,569.67 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2016 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Receipts above disbursements; minority individual share

Receipts $48,947,569.67 and disbursements $48,336,901.41 are separate FEC columns. Receipts exceed disbursements by $610,668.26 in this extract. Neither figure is an independent-expenditure-only total unless the packet’s Super PAC flag says so. This extract does not split operating expenditures, transfers, or refunds. Receipts exceed disbursements. Cash on hand is stored as $610,668.26.

Future in the name is a brand word, not a forecast

This join does not name donors, unique contributors, or employers. It does not convert campaign receipts into USAspending obligations. FEC reports and federal award tables are different datasets even when a famous name overlaps. A minority individual-contribution share still does not name committee donors or vendors. No USAspending claim.

Independent expenditures by other committees that mention the same public figure are other tables. Party transfers, if they exist, are not itemized here. Keep the citation to FOR OUR FUTURE, C00620971, cycle 2016, receipts $48,947,569.67, disbursements $48,336,901.41, source FEC.gov.
