Where the money goes

Three places a big check can land

People who want to support the president don't write him a personal check. They give to political funds — some with limits, some without. These funds show only money received since January 20, 2017; campaign contributions from before that date are excluded. Click any category to see the committees inside it.

Search the donors

Every individual who gave to the Republican party’s funds behind this president — campaign, joint fundraising, and leadership PACs — ranked by total. The top 50 load below; type a name or employer to search all of them.

Amounts are itemized individual contributions (over $200) from public FEC filings — not any claim about why they gave. A row reflects giving under a name; for common names that may combine same-named individuals.

The inaugural committee

Inaugural money

The 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee raised $106,785,308 from 930 donors. Inaugural committees can accept unlimited corporate, LLC, and individual money — corporations are barred from giving to regular political funds, and there are no contribution limits here. Every dollar disclosed to the FEC.

Outside spending

Independent expenditures

Money spent by outside groups to support or oppose the president — not coordinated with his campaign. After Citizens United, this spending has no limit. This is what named Donald J. Trump in the 2018 & 2020 election.

Where those dollars reach Congress

The same donors fund individual members of Congress

These same people — the ones writing million-dollar checks to the Republican party — also give money to individual members of Congress. Both Democrats and Republicans.

What's an Influenced Index score?
The Influenced Index scores each member of Congress on how closely their record tracks the money behind them — direct contributions, outside spending, lobbying, vote timing, and more. Members are ranked against others in the same Congress and labeled by exposure — Most, Highly, Moderately, or Least exposed — with the member's actual score shown. It is a measure of alignment, not proof of a quid pro quo.

$0 from shared donors

0 donors each gave at least $100,000 to the Republican party's two main leadership funds while he held office. 0 members of Congress — 0 of them in the top “Most exposed” tier — took money from those same donors.

The members

Who the president's donors also fund

Each card shows how much a member took from donors who also write the biggest checks to the Republican party — and that member's Influenced Index score. Hover any card for the plain-English version.

The donor-to-Congress bridge is not shown for this term. Mapping 2017–2021 contributions to Influenced Index member scores requires donor-resolved 2018/2020 records and 115th–116th Congress scoring that are not yet ingested — the bridge in this build covers 2022 onward. The President’s Money and Comparison tabs are fully sourced from FEC filings.

“Shared donors” are individuals who gave at least $100,000 to the Save America while he held office (2017–2021) and who also contributed to the listed member across the 2018 and 2020 cycles. Donor identities are resolved across filings and name variants merged; amounts are summed across matched records.

The fuller picture

The total financial footprint

The full financial footprint of a presidency isn’t just what the president raises. It includes the inaugural committee — where corporate money is legal — and the independent expenditures from outside groups spending to support or oppose them. This is all of it.

Corporate money

Corporate money is barred from every other political fund. It is legal in two places: the inaugural committee (where Trump raised $247.7M — about 4 times Biden’s $61.9M) and the White House State Ballroom (a separate $400 million project where donation amounts are not disclosed at all). The same corporations appear in both.

Combined, $4.34B flowed around two presidencies. Every dollar from public filings — except the Ballroom, where only the names are known.
