Correlation is not a funding path

USAspending rows for the same calendar years are a different dataset. This join does not claim that $383,869 funded federal awards, or that federal awards funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Geography or employer text on a contribution line does not convert the gift into an obligation.
