Trump Political Donations, Super PAC Receipts and Inaugural Giving

Individuals and companies gave to Trump’s campaign fundraising organizations, super PACs supporting his candidacy and the committee that funded his inauguration. Timothy Mellon gave $150 million to a super PAC supporting Trump in the 2024 cycle. After the election, Pilgrim’s Pride gave $5 million to the inaugural committee. The filings trace other payments through nonprofits and political committees, including money one committee transferred to another.

Inaugural committee

Pilgrim’s Pride gave $5 million to the Trump–Vance Inaugural Committee, Jared Isaacman gave $2 million, and X Corp. gave $1 million. Isaacman later gave another $3 million to MAGA Inc. in three payments spanning his NASA nominations and confirmation.1–12

MAGA Inc. receipts

Greg and Anna Brockman each gave $12.5 million. Miriam Adelson gave $25 million. Tools for Humanity’s $5 million receipt appears on line 17 as a non-contribution. Other records identify UnitedHealthcare, Elizabeth Fago and Isabela Herrera.10, 13–18

Where committee money went

MAGA Inc. paid $200 million to No Going Back PAC and $25 million to Safety & Affordability PAC. No Going Back reported the $200 million as other committee contributions. It sponsored advertising in New Hampshire. These onward payments are separate from the original donor receipts.16, 19–21

Other Republican political spending

The Musk records distinguish America PAC’s reported petition-incentive contribution from spending for Senate and House election committees. Each entry identifies its own recipient.22–23

Large donors and the companies affected

Mellon gave $150 million to the 2024 super PAC. In 2025, Kelcy Warren and Energy Transfer each gave $12.5 million to MAGA Inc. Lake Charles subsequently requested and received an export deadline extension. Ripple’s appeal dismissal left its $125 million penalty standing, while Robinhood’s filing records closure of its crypto inquiry.14, 24–27

Nonprofits and shared personnel

Issue One traced $17 million from American Prosperity Alliance, $7,698,648 from MAGA Action and $2 million from Bitcoin Advocacy Project to Securing American Greatness. CREW separately found a $1 million Qualcomm disclosure. Officers overlap between MAGA Action and Securing American Greatness. The records identify organizations supplying funds and their officers.28–33

Joint fundraising

Trump 47 allocated receipts between campaign accounts, Save America, the RNC and state parties. An entire joint fundraising check is not the campaign’s share.34

Applicable law and recorded findings

Campaign Legal Center’s February 2026 FEC complaint alleges contributions in another person’s name involving Isabela Herrera. This is a filed allegation.18
