Northwestern University gifts received by Obama for America

Northwestern University meeting Obama for America

Northwestern University is the grouped employer or occupation key. OBAMA FOR AMERICA is committee C00431445. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY and whose recipient is that committee. The $252,369 figure is the intersection.

8,798 contributions averaging about $29 ($252,369 ÷ 8,798) describe this cell. The packet does not name the 8,798 filers or say whether they are one household repeating. A line count is a filing pattern, not a unique-donor census. Northwestern University × Obama for America is an industry-to-committee join, not a donor roster.

The join exists so the industry hub ($5,038,256) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00431445 is the FEC committee ID on this URL. Independent expenditures stay outside $252,369. NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY is university employer text, not a university PAC as the filer.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY as stored FEC employer text

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY is filer-entered text. University employer text, not a university pac as the filer. Neighboring spellings can sit on other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $5,038,256.

Occupation strings without this employer key sit on occupation hubs. This URL is Northwestern University × Obama for America, an industry-to-committee join, not an industry-to-cycle cell. Open the Northwestern University industry hub for the $5,038,256 employer total and other committees. The 5.0% ratio is $252,369 divided by $5,038,256. Other committee joins for NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $4,785,887. Citing Obama for America as if it were the Northwestern University lifetime total would overstate this cell by $4,785,887.

OBAMA FOR AMERICA (C00431445)

C00431445 is disclosed as OBAMA FOR AMERICA. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made. The $252,369 is Northwestern University-coded individual receipts. Other employers giving to Obama for America appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the 8,798-line filter.

8,798 lines at about $29 each describe the cell arithmetic. That mean is $252,369 divided by 8,798. It is not a typical gift, not a limit, and not a payroll calendar. It does not identify who directed the gifts or whether Northwestern University as an entity participated. A mean of $29 per itemized line can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median and no unique-donor count. 8,798 contributions remain a line count, not a headcount.

5.0% of the Northwestern University grouping

About 5.0% of $5,038,256 is $252,369 to Obama for America. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that Northwestern University as an entity directed the gifts. High overlap with one committee is a reporting pattern, not a finding that the labeled entity allocated political money.

The leftover $4,785,887 (95.0% of $5,038,256) went to other committees under the same Northwestern University grouping, or sits outside this recipient filter. The Northwestern University industry hub holds that remainder. The OBAMA FOR AMERICA page holds receipts whose employer field did not group to NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. Northwestern University as university employer text, not a university PAC as the filer can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $252,369. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $252,369. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a committee name does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is university employer text, not a university PAC as the filer, not NU as a shorter sibling key, a faculty census, or Northwestern as a corporate treasury.

Correlation between an employer string and a committee is not causation. The records show a text match, a recipient ID, and 8,798 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control. Quote both keys: Northwestern University and Obama for America. Quote the dollars: $252,369. Quote the volume: 8,798 contributions. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out.

Citing Northwestern University and Obama for America together

Start with $252,369, then Northwestern University and Obama for America, then the industry hub or the committee hub if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, C00431445, $252,369, 8,798 contributions, 5.0% of $5,038,256, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 5.0% share and the $29 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. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Unitemized individual gifts never enter $252,369. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements are other FEC tables. Sharing a company-like string does not merge those ledgers with C00431445.
