Political Activity
The available FEC data covers only the most recent 100 contributions on file; it records at least 100 federal contributions, so the totals and party breakdown are not a complete history. In this sample, contributions totaled $62,557.92, including $43,100 to Republican recipients, $5,815 to Democratic recipients, and $13,642.92 to PACs or other recipients. The largest listed recipients were Team Hagerty ($8,300), Team Hagerty Victory ($7,000), Van for Tennessee ($7,000), Kustoff for Congress ($7,000), and the NRSC ($6,600). FEC

Philanthropy
Foundations are matched to a person by name, not by trustee records — so a same-surname family foundation can land here in error. Every entity below links to its full IRS filing; if one doesn’t belong, tell us at hello@skylarkcreations.com and we’ll pull it.
Political Contributions
These figures cover the 100 most recent federal contributions on file, not the full record. The total, party split, top recipients and dates below are all computed over that sample, so each is a floor rather than a complete figure.

Score Breakdown
The PBS is a weighted average of 2 components. The formula is open and versioned — the weight percentages below show how much each component contributes to the final score.
Evidenced charitable giving — built on what they actually give each year, not parked assets. Dominated by generosity (annual giving relative to net worth — the share of your fortune you give), plus the absolute scale of that giving, plus a small nudge for signing the Giving Pledge (a commitment, not a realized action).
