Grant Thornton LLP and the 2012 FEC cycle

Grant Thornton LLP as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — GRANT THORNTON LLP and 2012 — sum to $337,438. 401 itemized contributions and 219 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 Grant Thornton LLP hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Grant Thornton LLP is accounting-firm employer text, not a verified payroll file. 219 donors and 401 lines in 2012 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string GRANT THORNTON LLP.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $3,887,635 (all cycles for this string) as the 2012 story, and does not treat the 2012 cycle hub as a Grant Thornton LLP-only list. Two filters, one cell: $337,438.

8.7% of the Grant Thornton LLP roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $3,887,635. The 2012 slice of $337,438 is about 8.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 91.3% ($3,550,197). Treating 2012 as the entire Grant Thornton LLP FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $3,887,635 as the denominator for the 8.7% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $3,887,635. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

401 contributions from 219 donors

Dividing $337,438 by 401 contributions yields about $841 per itemized gift. Dividing by 219 donors yields about $1,541 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 1.8. 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.

219 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.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Grant Thornton LLP is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Grant Thornton LLP to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $337,438 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 401 contributions, the 219 unique donors, and the 8.7% share of $3,887,635.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $337,438. 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 accounting-firm employer text, not Grant Thornton PAC, a Big Four NAICS rollup, or the firm as a corporate treasury.

Correlation between an employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 219 donors, and 401 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Citing Grant Thornton LLP and 2012 together

Start with $337,438, then Grant Thornton LLP 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: GRANT THORNTON LLP, 2012, $337,438, 401 contributions, 219 donors, 8.7% of $3,887,635, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 8.7% share, the 219-donor count, and the $841 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. 401 itemized contributions totaling $337,438 average about $841 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
