Saban Productions contributions received by PRIORITIES USA ACTION
$6,115,000 in itemized individual contributions is the join between the SABAN PRODUCTIONS employer grouping and PRIORITIES USA ACTION (C00495861). That cell covers 625 contributions from FEC.gov individual filings. The employer grouping totals $25,329,424; this super PAC is about 24% of the Productions string — a different Saban key from SABAN INC, and a different Priorities USA cell from the Senator Terry Sanford join that uses the same committee ID.
Key figures
- PRIORITIES USA ACTION received $6,115,000 from SABAN PRODUCTIONS-coded individual gifts across 625 contributions.
- The SABAN PRODUCTIONS grouping totals $25,329,424, so this committee is about 24% of that labeled money.
- $9,784 per contribution is $6,115,000 divided by 625 itemized lines.
- SABAN PRODUCTIONS is not SABAN INC; this C00495861 cell is not every Priorities USA employer filter.
Saban Productions meeting Priorities USA, not Saban Inc
SABAN PRODUCTIONS is the grouped employer key. PRIORITIES USA ACTION is committee C00495861. This page reports itemized individual gifts that carried both labels. The $6,115,000 figure is the intersection. It is not the $7,000,000 SABAN INC to DNC Building Fund cell, and it is not the $9,550,848 Senator Terry Sanford to Priorities USA cell. Those are other employer filters.
PRODUCTIONS is stored as part of the name. Filers who typed SABAN INC, SABAN CAPITAL, or a personal name may sit in other keys. Do not add those industry totals to $25,329,424. The super PAC is a separate committee ID; independent expenditures by Priorities USA Action remain outside this source note.
Six hundred twenty-five contributions totaling $6,115,000 is a mid-width file relative to this slice.
A 24% slice of a $25.3 million Productions grouping
The SABAN PRODUCTIONS grouping shows $25,329,424 in itemized individual money. The Priorities USA Action cell is $6,115,000, or about 24% of that total. About 76% of Productions-coded receipts went to other committees. Those leftover dollars dominate the industry hub.
A 24% share is a large dollar cell inside a larger map. Opening only this tie would hide about $19,214,424 of the grouping ($25,329,424 minus $6,115,000). The industry page is the denominator.
625 lines into C00495861 from this employer only
PRIORITIES USA ACTION received $6,115,000 from SABAN PRODUCTIONS-coded receipts across 625 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives $9,784 per contribution exactly ($6,115,000 ÷ 625). That mean is arithmetic. The packet does not name donors or split the 625 rows by cycle.
The committee overlay includes other employers, including the Senator Terry Sanford grouping in this batch. Those are other cells. Adding employer-committee joins that share C00495861 would not equal the committee’s full receipts; it would only stack different employer filters.
Entertainment labels and federal awards
This join does not prove that Saban Productions funded Priorities USA Action as a corporate treasury, and it does not connect the $6,115,000 to USAspending awards. Production-company names and federal agencies are different ledgers. Shared celebrity coverage in news is not a cash pipeline.
Correlation between a productions employer string and a super PAC is a reporting pattern. Causation of election outcomes is not in the 625 lines.
Keeping two Saban keys and two Priorities cells apart
The Saban Productions industry page keeps the $25,329,424 grouping. The PRIORITIES USA ACTION page keeps C00495861. All industries ranks SABAN INC separately. All FEC ties lists this cell beside other C00495861 employer joins so $6,115,000 is not added to those other employer totals as if they were one donor.
The leftover $19,214,424 ($25,329,424 minus $6,115,000) is the majority of SABAN PRODUCTIONS-coded money — about 76% — and it did not go to C00495861. A 24% share is a large cell inside a larger map. $9,784 per contribution is $6,115,000 divided by 625 exactly. SABAN INC's building-fund join and the Senator Terry Sanford Priorities USA join are different filters.
Three Priorities-and-Saban sentences that must stay separate
Sentence one: SABAN PRODUCTIONS to PRIORITIES USA ACTION is $6,115,000 of $25,329,424 across 625 lines, about 24%, committee C00495861. Sentence two: SABAN INC to DNC - BUILDING FUND is a different employer and C60000312. Sentence three: SENATOR TERRY SANFORD to PRIORITIES USA ACTION is a different employer on C00495861. None of those sentences is a sum of the others.
Unitemized gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures by C00495861, if filed, are omitted. USAspending is omitted. SABAN CAPITAL, if stored, is another key. Quote PRODUCTIONS as stored. Use all FEC ties to keep the three cells on three lines. Adding them produces a number that is not in any packet fact. Keep PRODUCTIONS in the citation so SABAN INC remains a different grouping. The 625-line count belongs next to $6,115,000 and the 24% share of $25,329,424. C00495861 is shared with other employer cells; those cells are not these 625 lines. Unitemized gifts stay omitted. The leftover 76% lives on the industry hub.
