Saban Productions crossed with 2014
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Saban Productions and 2014 — sum to $436,100. 44 itemized contributions and 1 unique donor 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. This page joins the employer grouping Saban Productions to cycle 2014; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.
Neither the Saban Productions hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 1 unique donor and 44 lines in 2014 sit under the stored string SABAN PRODUCTIONS. SABAN CAPITAL, SABAN ENTERTAINMENT, SABAN, and UNIVISION stay on their own keys if filers used them. NEA grants or other cultural USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
1.7% of the Saban Productions roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $25,329,424 ($25.3 million). The 2014 slice of $436,100 is about 1.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 98.3%, or $24,893,324. Treating 2014 as the Saban Productions FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $436,100 when the sentence is about 2014. Quote $25,329,424 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.
Treat $25,329,424 as the denominator for the 1.7% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $25,329,424. 1.7% is $436,100 divided by $25,329,424. Rounding to $436,100 and $25.3 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.
44 contributions from 1 donor
Dividing $436,100 by 44 contributions yields about $9,911 per itemized gift. Dividing by 1 donor yields about $436,100 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 44.0. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Saban Productions 2014 holds the rows.
1 unique donor is a contributor identity, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Unitemized gifts never appear in $436,100. State-office campaigns never enter this cell. A later amendment can restate a large transfer while most of the 44 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the live overlay. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.
2014 as the cycle dimension
The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer or occupation for that window. Saban Productions is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the employer grouping filter and Saban Productions to drop the year. FEC cycle 2014 covers 2013–2014. A gift dated in the odd year and a gift dated in the even year can share the $436,100 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 44 contributions, the 1 unique donor, and the 1.7% share of $25,329,424. Comparing Saban Productions in 2014 to another grouping requires that other grouping’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle.
Limits of the Saban Productions × 2014 join
Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $436,100. NEA grants or other cultural USAspending rows are different datasets. Sharing an employer or occupation string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Correlation between a stored string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 1 donor, and 44 contributions.
SABAN CAPITAL, SABAN ENTERTAINMENT, SABAN, and UNIVISION are other keys if stored separately. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into SABAN PRODUCTIONS. The key is not a studio payroll, not a Nielsen rating, and not a Saban PAC. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. A ranking of industries for 2014 is a different page — the 2014 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.
Citing Saban Productions and 2014 together
Start with $436,100, then Saban Productions 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Saban Productions, 2014, $436,100, 44 contributions, 1 donor, 1.7% of $25,329,424, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.
The 1.7% share, the 1 donor count, and the $9,911 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling string 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. Do not print a 2014 share of US politics from $436,100. The denominator for 1.7% is $25,329,424, the Saban Productions grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov.
