Same contributions received by Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee

Why this page is not the Same hub

An industry-pac page is not a restatement of Same and not a restatement of Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee. It is the cell where they meet: $1,000,000, 67 contributions. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry and recipient committee are the source.

On the employer side, Same is a stub employer string SAME as stored, not the skip-list placeholder self. On the committee side, C00572958 is the stored recipient. Gifts to other committees under the same string sit in $3,852,299.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $4,852,299 is the all-committee Same bucket. The PHILADELPHIA 2016 HOST COMMITTEE hub is every employer. The join is $1,000,000.

The $4,852,299 Same grouping

The Same industry hub holds $4,852,299. This committee accounts for $1,000,000 (20.6%). The leftover $3,852,299 is other committees under the same string. That leftover is not missing data; it is a different filter.

SAME remains a stub employer string SAME as stored, not the skip-list placeholder self. Citing $4,852,299 as if Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee received all of it would overstate this join by $3,852,299. The 20.6% ratio is $1,000,000 divided by $4,852,299. Other committee joins for SAME are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,852,299. Citing Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee as if it were the Same lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,852,299.

Committee C00572958 versus employer SAME

Two IDs, two meanings. SAME is grouped employer text. C00572958 is a committee. $1,000,000 is only their product on itemized individual contributions.

Corporate treasury contributions, if any exist on other schedules, are not in these facts. PAC-to-PAC transfers are not in these facts. Independent expenditures are not in these facts. A mean of $14,925 per itemized line can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median and no unique-donor count. 67 contributions remain a line count, not a headcount.

The $4,852,299 denominator

Divide $1,000,000 by $4,852,299 and the result is about 20.6%. The complementary share is 79.4%, or $3,852,299 outside C00572958. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$4,852,299 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched SAME at any committee in this table. Same as a stub employer string SAME as stored, not the skip-list placeholder self can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $1,000,000. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.

Self-reported fields and missing tables

Missing from the packet: donor names, unique-donor count, party split, unitemized totals, PAC disbursements, and any USAspending figure. Present: $1,000,000, 67 contributions, $4,852,299 all-committee, committee C00572958, string SAME.

Self-reported fields create split spellings. Researchers who need a firm-level view must inspect neighboring keys on the industry index rather than assume $4,852,299 is complete for a legal entity. Quote both keys: Same and Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee. Quote the dollars: $1,000,000. Quote the volume: 67 contributions. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out.

What to carry forward from this packet

Carry forward $1,000,000, 67, 20.6%, $4,852,299, C00572958, and the string SAME. Leave behind invented donors, party shares, and contract dollars. The source note is FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by employer/industry and recipient committee. Not independent expenditures.

$14,925 per contribution is a derived mean. Label it as such. A stub employer string same as stored, not the skip-list placeholder self remains the right description of the grouping. Unitemized individual gifts never enter $1,000,000. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements are other FEC tables. Sharing a company-like string does not merge those ledgers with C00572958. Restating the join without new numbers: Same at Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee is $1,000,000 from 67 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,852,299 across committees, so this recipient is about 20.6% and other committees hold $3,852,299 (79.4%). The grouping is a stub employer string SAME as stored, not the skip-list placeholder self, not a named employer, a convention-city contract file, or Same as a corporate treasury. No donor names, unique-donor count, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $14,925. That mean is arithmetic, not a median. Independent expenditures remain outside $1,000,000.

Questions

How much did Same-coded filers give the 2016 host committee?

FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions show $1,000,000 coded to the Same grouping and received by PHILADELPHIA 2016 HOST COMMITTEE (C00572958). That join covers 67 contributions. The broader grouping across all committees is $4,852,299. These figures are not independent expenditures.

What employer is Same?

No. The total is itemized individual contributions whose employer field grouped to SAME, not a corporate treasury gift. 67 lines averaging about $14,925 do not identify unique employees. This page reports the labeled join to C00572958 only. Occupation and employer labels are filer-entered.

What share of Same FEC money went to this host committee?

About 20.6% of the $4,852,299 Same total is in this join: $1,000,000 to Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee. About $3,852,299 went to other committees. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that the labeled entity directed the gifts.

Why does this join list 67 contributions?

The packet lists 67 itemized contribution lines totaling $1,000,000, about $14,925 per line. That is a receipt count, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are not in this join. Use the C00572958 hub for other receipt types.
