How much did Lehman Brothers donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $595,511 in itemized individual contributions for the Lehman Brothers grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 377 contributions and 150 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $8,758,084 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of Lehman Brothers FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,758,084. The 2012 cell of $595,511 is about 6.8% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.2% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Lehman Brothers hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current Lehman Brothers employees or licensees?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Lehman Brothers. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $595,511 from 150 donors on 377 contribution lines.

Lehman Brothers and the 2012 FEC election cycle

$595,511 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Lehman Brothers. FEC.gov aggregates count 377 contributions from 150 donors. The same string totals $8,758,084 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.8% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not the firm’s PAC and not a collapsed-bank restitution file.

Lehman Brothers as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Lehman Brothers and 2012 — sum to $595,511. 377 itemized contributions and 150 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. 2012 is a presidential even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Lehman Brothers hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Lehman Brothers is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 150 donors and 377 lines in 2012 matched that word. Alumni, household members, and filers who still type the full Brothers spelling sit in other buckets. LEHMAN BROS, LEHMAN BROTHERS INC, and LEHMAN are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Lehman Brothers as stored.

6.8% of the Lehman Brothers roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,758,084. The 2012 slice of $595,511 is about 6.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.2%. Treating 2012 as the Lehman Brothers FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $8,758,084 as the denominator for the 6.8% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $8,758,084. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

377 contributions from 150 donors

Dividing $595,511 by 377 contributions yields about $1,580 per itemized gift. Dividing by 150 donors yields about $3,970 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.5. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim. The string is stored employer text; it is not a going-concern payroll.

150 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. The overlay for Lehman Brothers 2012 holds the rows. Recipients can include candidate committees, party committees, leadership PACs, and Super PACs; this join does not split those buckets in the headline facts.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Lehman Brothers 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 Lehman Brothers to drop the year. Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $595,511 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 377 contributions, the 150 unique donors, and the 6.8% share of $8,758,084. Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 150 donors, and 377 contributions.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $595,511. LEHMAN BROS, LEHMAN BROTHERS INC, and LEHMAN are other keys. Alumni, household members, and filers who still type the full Brothers spelling are counted elsewhere unless the treasurer grouped them to this exact string. The string is stored employer text; it is not a going-concern payroll. The page is not the firm’s PAC and not a collapsed-bank restitution file.

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Lehman Brothers is the spelling as committees stored it. Researchers who want a combined family of neighboring labels must recode after export. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not attach a motive, a client matter, or a federal award to the $595,511 cell.

Citing Lehman Brothers and 2012 together

Start with $595,511, then Lehman Brothers 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Lehman Brothers, 2012, $595,511, 377 contributions, 150 donors, 6.8% of $8,758,084, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 6.8% share, the 150-donor count, and the $1,580 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. The join exists because two tables meet; it is not a restatement of one hub.
