Sutter Hill Bentures political contributions from Atherton, CA

How Sutter Hill Bentures meets Atherton

This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Atherton, CA. The other is employer/industry grouping Sutter Hill Bentures (stored as SUTTER HILL BENTURES). $17,300 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $124,905,584 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 64,211 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 1 donor, not a census of everyone in Atherton who ever worked in a related trade.

LobbyVault does not add a third table and does not route these dollars through USAspending. A Form 3 itemization is not a federal award. Open the Atherton, CA city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Sutter Hill Bentures industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, California campaign finance for the state roll-up, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Each of those pages answers a different question. This one answers only the intersection.

5 contributions from 1 donor produced $17,300. Repeat gifts add receipts; 1 donor is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a Census of Sutter Hill Bentures workers in Atherton. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $3,460; per donor, about $17,300. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

What the Atherton city book holds

Atherton indexes $124,905,584 ($124.9 million rounded) on 64,211 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $124,905,584. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list Atherton can sit in the same bucket as residents. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count for the city as a whole, so this page does not invent one from 64,211.

California campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Atherton. Do not treat $124,905,584 as the CA state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $124,905,584. State-office campaigns in California file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.

The Sutter Hill Bentures slice inside Atherton

Inside Atherton, receipts tagged Sutter Hill Bentures total $17,300 on 5 lines from 1 donor. That is under 0.1% of $124,905,584. About $3,460 per receipt is $17,300 divided by 5. About $17,300 per harvested donor is $17,300 divided by 1. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.

Sutter Hill Bentures is a filer-entered employer string, not a NAICS sector and not every affiliate, predecessor name, or related partnership. Other spellings of the same organization are other keys and are omitted from $17,300. A donor in Atherton who stored a different employer never enters this join. A donor outside Atherton who stored SUTTER HILL BENTURES belongs on the industry hub, not here.

What this join is not

It is not a ranking of Atherton neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Sutter Hill Bentures money funded a federal contract, grant, or loan. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different disclosure systems even when they mention the same city. This packet has no award dollars, so this page prints none.

It is not Sutter Hill Bentures nationwide unless the industry hub — a different page — is cited separately. It is not a PAC independent-expenditure total. Motive is not a field. Party split is not a field in this packet. Missing fields stay missing. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Sutter Hill Bentures controls Atherton politics.

Then send the reader to the live Atherton, CA hub, the Sutter Hill Bentures industry page, California campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. Do not add $17,300 to $124,905,584; the first number is already inside the second.

Using the Atherton and Sutter Hill Bentures hubs together

The Atherton, CA hub is the unfiltered city index: $124,905,584 on 64,211 lines. The Sutter Hill Bentures hub is the grouping without this city's filter. California campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Atherton. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $17,300 into a federal award.

If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 1 donor from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Atherton, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Sutter Hill Bentures in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Atherton and Sutter Hill Bentures, $17,300, 5 receipts, 1 donor.

Is $17,300 all Sutter Hill Bentures money nationwide?

No. $17,300 is only the Atherton, CA filter on stored string SUTTER HILL BENTURES. Other cities that stored the same string belong on the industry hub, not in this join. 5 receipts and 1 donor are likewise city-filtered. Do not treat the slice as a national total.

Why can receipts (5) exceed donors (1)?

Repeat itemized gifts from the same person add lines without adding people. 5 contributions and 1 donor are both packet facts for Sutter Hill Bentures in Atherton. The per-receipt mean about $3,460 and per-donor mean about $17,300 are arithmetic only. They are not medians.

Are Sutter Hill Bentures gifts in Atherton the same as federal awards?

No. FEC individual contributions and USAspending awards are different disclosure systems. $17,300 is a contribution total. This packet has no obligation dollars. Sharing the city name does not move money from one statute to the other.
