Thomas H Lee Co and the 2014 FEC cycle
$1,794,600 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle cell for the Thomas H Lee Co employer grouping. Four donors and 79 contributions produced that sum on FEC.gov individual records. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $16,493,576, so this midterm window holds about 10.9% of the lifetime bucket — a concentrated private-equity employer string, not a fund-level political account.

Thomas H Lee Co crossed with 2014
The employer hub stacks every cycle for Thomas H Lee Co. The 2014 cycle hub stacks every employer. This relationship page keeps the overlap: $1,794,600. Seventy-nine itemized gifts from four unique donors produced it. That is a two-key filter, not a finding that the firm ran a giving program.
Average contribution is about $22,716; average per donor is about $448,650. Those ratios describe a small set of large itemized receipts. With only four donor keys, one or two people can dominate the cell without appearing as a “one-donor” page.
Employer text is self-reported. Spellings of Thomas H. Lee Partners, THL, and related entities may or may not sit in this same bucket depending on how the pipeline grouped them.
About 11% of the grouping’s FEC total
$16,493,576 is every cycle combined. $1,794,600 in 2014 is about 10.9% of that stack. Other windows still hold about 89%. A midterm cell above 10% is a noticeable share for this employer string, but it is not a majority of the lifetime total.
The industry hub is the place to compare 2014 with other cycles for the same grouping. This tie only certifies the 2014 arithmetic.
Four donors, 79 contributions
A 79-to-4 ratio means repeated itemized activity. Joint fundraising, multiple committees, and both years of the cycle all add rows. The unique-donor count stays at four.
Individual receipts remain personal gifts tagged with an employer string. They are not the same as a management-company PAC or a super PAC financed by a fund.
2014 as the cycle filter
2014 covers federal activity in 2013–2014. Thomas H Lee Co’s $1,794,600 is one employer slice of that window. Ranking employer cells as influence would add a claim the FEC individual file does not carry.
Midterm national totals are usually lower than presidential-year totals. That seasonal fact does not assign a reason to these four donors.
Private-equity employer tags versus fund accounts
Buyout-firm names on individual receipts are easy to misread as fund-level political accounts. The form family here is still itemized individual contributions. Four unique-donor keys produced $1,794,600 across 79 gifts in 2014. That is a concentrated cell, not a capital-call and not a PAC.
A 10.9% midterm share of $16,493,576 is a noticeable chapter for this employer string. Other cycles still hold about 89% of the lifetime bucket. The 2012 Thomas H Lee Co join, if read next to this page, uses the same denominator and a different numerator. Shared grouping is not shared donor identity across years.
Portfolio companies, limited partners, and deal lists do not appear in these facts. Adding them would be commentary. USAspending would be the wrong ledger to “follow the money” from these receipts; campaign gifts and federal awards do not settle each other in this table.
Four unique-donor keys produced $1,794,600 across 79 itemized gifts. That is enough concentration that the overlay is short and the temptation to narrate a firm strategy is high. Resist it. The form family is individual contributions. The 10.9% share of $16,493,576 is a midterm chapter, not a capital-call.
The 2012 Thomas H Lee Co join uses the same lifetime denominator, six unique donors, and $1,429,250. Those two pages are siblings, not a time series of named people. Spellings of THL and Thomas H. Lee Partners may or may not sit in this bucket. Portfolio companies are not in these facts. Federal awards are not in these facts.
What the employer-cycle join is not
The page does not identify which funds or portfolio companies the donors worked on. It does not show party. It does not link FEC gifts to USAspending awards, even if a related legal name appears in both systems.
Receipts are on the Thomas H Lee Co 2014 overlay. Other years are on the industry hub. Other 2014 employers are on the cycle hub. Other joins are on the ties index.
