Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, raised nearly $400 million. A previously unreported Texas foundation, the Wayne Duddlesten Foundation, contributed $13.1 million, its largest single donation. Funding also came from billionaires and donor-advised funds, obscuring some donors' identities. While the organization's future fundraising under Kirk's wife, Erika, is uncertain, its political action committee, Turning Point PAC, separately raised $5 million, with contributions from figures like Steve Wynn and Donald Trump Jr. Kirk's death following an assassination has sparked increased interest in the organization.
