Career totals · 3 elections · 2016–2024
<1%
of everything Trump has raised across 8 years, from 2016 to 2024 came from political action committees — organized groups rather than individual voters. That is $1 million of $1.17 billion raised in all.
These are career totals — the sum of the 3elections listed further down, each of which links to the Commission’s own page where the figure matches line for line. See Trump on FEC.gov

Money spent about this member
Outside groups may spend without limit for or against a candidate, provided they do not coordinate with the campaign. This money never appears in Trump’s own filings, and Trump has no legal control over it.
This is not a donation. Nobody gave this money to Trump. Outside groups spent it on advertising for or against Trump across their elections. We report it separately from campaign funding because the law treats it separately — and because a group spending against a candidate is plainly not funding them.

What is not published yet
We would rather show less than show something unsourced.
Industry-by-industry breakdowns, named individual donors, and how this member’s votes align with the groups funding them are all planned. They are absent because we have not verified them, and a funding profile is only worth reading if every line on it has been checked. Our methodology explains what we verify before publishing.
