Founder political contributions from District of Columbia

District of Columbia filtered to Founder

Apply the Founder filter to donor state District of Columbia and the remaining money is $529,750. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 368 contributions and 37 donors. The occupation overlay lists the national rows; this file explains the relationship.

Founder is a filer-entered occupation. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 37 unique donors matched the stored string with a DC address. Repeat gifts can raise 368 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The national Founder total of $62,143,456 still includes other states. Citing $62,143,456 as if it were District of Columbia would overstate this cell. Citing the District of Columbia hub as if it were Founder-only would overstate the state. District of Columbia FOUNDER is a short ownership-style title. Entrepreneur remains a neighboring string. This D.C. cell does not merge those keys.

0.85% of the Founder roll

0.85% of stored Founder money is tagged DC ($529,750). 99.1% is not ($61,613,706). Both percentages use $62,143,456 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The occupation hub holds the state-by-state index. This tie isolates District of Columbia so $62,143,456 is not mistaken for a one-state number. Co-founder, founder/CEO, entrepreneur, and owner are omitted from both figures.

How 37 donors produced 368 gifts

Contribution count (368) and donor count (37) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $529,750 is their dollar sum. This is a small cell.

If a searcher wants names, this JSON file reports 37 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract. Donor state DC is an address field, not a workplace census.

FEC gifts are not federal awards

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $529,750. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an occupation string and a state does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is a filer-entered occupation, not a startup incorporation census, a cap-table file, or a founder-directory scrape.

Correlation between an occupation string and a donor state is not causation. The records show a text match, an address code, 37 donors, and 368 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Using the Founder and District of Columbia hubs without mixing them

The occupation hub answers every-state questions for FOUNDER. The District of Columbia hub answers every-occupation questions for that address code. This tie answers the both-filters question: $529,750, 368 receipts, 37 donors, 0.85% of $62,143,456.

Amended reports can move any of those integers. Quote the live Founder donations page if the overlay has refreshed. Quote this packet only as a snapshot of the harvested join.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.

Nearby job titles belong on their own occupation hubs if stored as other strings. A mean gift is dollars divided by itemized lines, not a typical check. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Repeat the join in one line: occupation FOUNDER ∩ state DC = $529,750, 368 receipts, 37 donors, 0.85% of $62,143,456. Neighbors remain co-founder, founder/CEO, entrepreneur, and owner. Source remains FEC.gov.
