Saban Productions contributions received by SMP

Headline cell $5,110,852

$5,110,852 requires both keys at once: employer/occupation grouping SABAN PRODUCTIONS, and recipient committee C00484642 disclosed as SMP. LobbyVault keeps a Saban Productions industry hub and an SMP committee hub. Neither hub is this page. The industry hub lists every committee that received itemized gifts storing this grouping. The committee hub lists every industry string that gave to C00484642. This URL is only the intersection.

This page is a JOIN. One side is the filer-entered grouping Saban Productions. The other side is SMP on C00484642. $5,110,852 is what remains after both filters, across 625 itemized contributions. Opening only the Saban Productions hub restates $25,329,424. Opening only the committee hub restates every grouping that gave to C00484642. Adding those hubs together double-counts. SABAN PRODUCTIONS is the stored grouping. It is not a named individual donor. Do not invent a person from the production-company label. SMP on C00484642 is the same committee ID as the Renaissance SMP page. Do not add those industry filters. 625 contributions produced this Saban Productions cell. SABAN and SABAN CAPITAL are other keys if stored.

Grouping string SABAN PRODUCTIONS

Saban Productions’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $25,329,424 ($25.3 million). $5,110,852 is 20.2% of that book. The leftover $20,218,572 (79.8%) went to other committees under SABAN PRODUCTIONS, or sits outside this recipient filter. A large or small share still describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that people in this grouping preferred this committee as a bloc.

Take the committee filter off and SABAN PRODUCTIONS still shows $25,329,424 itemized. $5,110,852 is the slice tagged to C00484642. Open the Saban Productions hub for the remainder $20,218,572. Do not subtract by hand from a different extract dated on another night. The industry book is not a company budget and not a NAICS sector total.

Recipient ID C00484642

C00484642 is disclosed as SMP. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $5,110,852 is itemized individual receipts storing grouping SABAN PRODUCTIONS and committee C00484642. Other industry strings giving to SMP appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the industry filter.

Quote the committee with its FEC ID so a similarly named filing is not swapped in. SMP on another ID is a different page. This URL is Saban Productions × C00484642, not every spelling of SABAN PRODUCTIONS. Dividing $5,110,852 by 625 contributions yields about $8,177 per itemized gift. That mean is arithmetic, not a typical gift and not a median. The packet does not name unique donors. Inventing names from the grouping label would break the contract.

Saban Productions remainder after SMP

20.2% of $25,329,424 is $5,110,852 to SMP (C00484642). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings. Most of the $25,329,424 industry book went to other committees when 79.8% remains. Even when 20.2% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00484642 filter. Ranking this grouping against other employer strings is outside the packet.

The leftover $20,218,572 under the SABAN PRODUCTIONS string went to other committees. The Saban Productions hub holds that remainder. The SMP page holds receipts whose employer field did not store SABAN PRODUCTIONS. Do not stack this cell with another industry’s gifts to C00484642; each join is its own filter.

Caveats on motive and spending

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $5,110,852. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file; the source note on this packet says these aggregates are not independent expenditures. Employer and occupation labels are filer-entered. Neighboring spellings, punctuation variants, and successor company names are other keys. PAC disbursements from Saban Productions as an organization are not this cell.

Do not read $5,110,852 as proof that Saban Productions “funded” SMP as a corporate act, or that the committee spent the money on a particular race. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $5,110,852 to federal spending.

Questions

What did FEC.gov record from Saban Productions to SMP?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing grouping SABAN PRODUCTIONS and recipient SMP (C00484642) total $5,110,852 in this extract, across 625 contributions. That is the join, not Saban Productions’s all-committee book of $25,329,424. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Is 20.2% of Saban Productions money going to SMP?

$5,110,852 is 20.2% of the $25,329,424 Saban Productions book. The leftover $20,218,572 stayed with other committee IDs under the same grouping string. 20.2% is a share of two FEC fields, not a finding that this grouping preferred SMP as a bloc. Open the Saban Productions hub for the remainder.

Can I get a roster of Saban Productions contributors to SMP?

No. This packet publishes a dollar total ($5,110,852) and a contribution count (625). It does not name unique donors. Saban Productions is filer-entered employer or occupation text, not a verified employee or member list. Inventing names from the grouping or from the committee label would go beyond the facts.

Did Saban Productions donations fund federal contracts?

No. $5,110,852 is itemized individual contributions grouped by employer/industry and recipient committee. The source note states these aggregates are not independent expenditures. FEC receipts and USAspending award files are different datasets. Sharing a grouping string does not turn these gifts into federal obligations.
