Overview

This roster catalogs the political action committees and super PACs most closely associated with Donald Trump’s 2016, 2020, and 2024 campaigns and the broader MAGA / America First / Project 2025 funder ecosystem. Includes leadership PACs, victory funds, primary super PACs, joint fundraising committees, and the dark-money 501(c)(4)s that finance them.

SourcesFederal Election Commission (FEC) filings; OpenSecrets; CREW; Documented; ProPublica; AP; Associated Press; The Brennan Center; The Center for Public Integrity; Campaign Legal Center; Issue One; Sludge; NOTUS.Status: Living document. Last updated 2026-07-21 with 2026 midterm-cycle FEC filings.

Primary Trump 2024 / 2020 Vehicles

MAGA Inc. (Make America Great Again Inc.)

  • FEC committee C00892471. Trump’s primary 2024 super PAC; replaced/superseded Save America JFC and Save America PAC after 2022 launch
  • 2024 cycle: $300M+ raised; Timothy Mellon $165M largest single donor (an OpenSecrets Aug-2024 tally that surpassed his prior $125M); Miriam Adelson significant donor; Diane Hendricks $15M
  • 2026-cycle FEC summary (current): total receipts ~$397.7M; ending cash on hand ~$400.6M; independent expenditures ~$1.7M (very low relative to receipts). A separate Form 3X snapshot showed period receipts of $102.2M and cash at close of $294.4M — the divergence reflects different reporting windows
  • Press reporting (Politico, Fox News, Jan 2026) described MAGA Inc. entering the 2026 midterm cycle with a ~$300M war chest; a July 2026 Politico piece flagged that MAGA Inc. had reached $400M cash on hand with no significant spending yet to boost midterm candidates — an unusual hoarding pattern for a candidate-focused super PAC
  • 96% of MAGA Inc.’s 2025 fundraising came from donations of $1M+ (NOTUS, “A New Generation of MAGA Megadonors Is Emerging”)
  • Run by Taylor Budowich (until he joined the WH transition); Steven Cheung also affiliated
  • [NEEDS VERIFICATION] Some sources report that $250M was offered to Trump around a possible third-term run — figure and provenance not independently confirmed in FEC filings

Save America (Trump Leadership PAC)

  • Trump’s leadership PAC, launched November 2020 with post-election fundraising
  • $135M cash raised in 2020-2021 alone via election-fraud claim emails
  • Used to pay legal bills for Trump and aides; FEC restrictions on direct candidate spending
  • Substantial DOJ investigation interest in 2022-2024

Trump 47 Committee Inc. (TJFC)

  • Joint fundraising committee for 2024 cycle splitting funds among Trump campaign, RNC, Save America, MAGA Inc., and state parties
  • Replaced the prior Trump Make America Great Again Committee

America First Action / America First Action Inc.

  • Top Trump super PAC for 2018 midterms and 2020 presidential
  • Linda McMahon chair; Brian Ballard treasurer
  • Wound down before 2024 cycle (replaced by MAGA Inc.)

Donald J Trump for President / Donald J. Trump for President Inc.

  • Trump’s principal campaign committee 2016, 2020, 2024
  • Operates per FEC contribution limits

America First / Preserve America Constellation

Preserve America PAC

  • FEC committee C00878801. Adelson-funded super PAC (Sheldon then Miriam)
  • 2024 cycle: Aggregate outside-tracker reporting attributes $100M+ (variously $95M / $100M / $106M across sources) in Miriam Adelson–linked funding. Dated OpenSecrets contributions to Preserve America PAC include $25M (Jul 26, 2024), $25M (Sept 9, 2024), $20M (Sept 17, 2024), $6M (Oct 28, 2024), $5M (May 3, 2024), and additional multi-million dated gifts
  • Additional 2024 Preserve America PAC donors of note: Elizabeth Uihlein $3M (Oct 15, 2024); Ronald M. Cameron / Mountaire Farms $2M (Oct 10, 2024)
  • 2026-cycle FEC summary (current): minimal new receipts (~$267 in the latest period), beginning cash ~$1.45M, ending cash ~$697K, disbursements ~$750K, including a $750K contribution to another committee; no reported independent expenditures. OpenSecrets aggregations still attribute >$112M in independent expenditures across the broader 2024–2026 window — the divergence reflects timing / aggregator methodology differences

  • Musk contributions: dated FEC entries include $5M each on Jul 3 / Jul 10 / Jul 18, 2024, $25M each on Oct 25 and Oct 31, and $40,495,178 on Nov 25, 2024. Aggregated reporting: Musk wired approximately $239M into America PAC between July 2024 and Election Day; CNN’s Feb 2025 recap of year-end FEC filings put Musk’s total 2024 election political spending above $290M. Musk was the source of ~91% of America PAC’s declared contributions as of Dec 2024
  • 2026-cycle FEC summary (current): total receipts ~$49.9M; ending cash on hand only ~$326K; total disbursements ~$51.8M; independent expenditures ~$87K — the low cash position and minimal current IE spend suggest America PAC has been substantially drawn down in the post-2024 period

  • 2026-cycle FEC summary (current): total receipts ~$2.3M; total disbursements ~$9.8M; independent expenditures ~$664K; beginning cash ~$7.7M; ending cash ~$297K; ~$147K in reported debt — post-2024 draw-down, minimal 2026 activity to date

Building America’s Future / Turnout for America (2024–2026 adjacent networks)

  • Turnout for America received $11M from Diane Hendricks in 2024 (Brennan Center)
  • Broader networked outside-group activity documented in a May 2026 Campaign Legal Center complaint alleging $10M+ transfers among sibling super PACs in a MAGA-aligned network, and Issue One reporting on three previously unknown donors giving $26M to a Trump-aligned dark-money group

2025–2026 Dark-Money and Reporting-Gap Signals

  • Musk-linked 501(c)(4) received $75M anonymous donation (Sludge, Dec 2025) — a channel designed to move funds without FEC donor disclosure

  • May 2026 Campaign Legal Center FEC complaint alleging AI-subvendor / cross-transfer schemes among a network of pro-Trump super PACs
  • Systematic divergence between per-period FEC Form 3X snapshots and cycle-total aggregations by OpenSecrets / press: readers should treat single filing snapshots as period-specific and cross-reference multiple filings before quoting a “total”

Fairshake PAC

  • FEC committee C00835959. Crypto-industry super PAC (Coinbase, Andreessen Horowitz, Brian Armstrong, Ripple, and other crypto-sector and venture backers)

  • OpenSecrets independent-spending breakdown shows the majority of 2026 IE activity directed at Republican targets vs. Democratic targets
  • Not exclusively pro-Trump but heavily Trump-aligned in 2024 and functions as the crypto industry’s principal party-adjacent enforcement mechanism for candidates seen as friendly to crypto regulation
