Fact check: What are the names of major donors who have withdrawn funding from Turning Point USA in 2024?

1. What the reporting actually claims — a narrow headline, a wide gap

Reporting supplied here presents two different threads: comprehensive accounting of Turning Point USA’s revenue and donor base, and a separate claim about a single pro-Israel donor deciding to end support around Charlie Kirk’s death. The financial overviews name top donors and large donations and record substantial 2024 revenue for the organization, but they do not list donors who withdrew in 2024. The distinct account that a top pro-Israel donor terminated support is dated September 24, 2025 and frames that termination as taking place in the days before Kirk’s death, without specifying that the withdrawal occurred in 2024 ^{[1] [2]}.

2. Who shows up as major funders — context, not retractions

Several sources in the dataset enumerate prominent contributors and large gifts to Turning Point USA, including named individuals and foundations that underwrote the group’s programs and conferences; these lists serve as context for the organization’s funding base rather than evidence of withdrawals. The Fortune-style reporting highlights donors such as Foster Friess, Gary Rabine, and foundations that contributed to Turning Point USA’s net revenue and campaign activities, documenting an $85 million revenue figure for 2024 but offering no contemporaneous evidence of major donors pulling back in that year ^[1].

3. The 2025 donor-termination report — what it does and does not say

One report dated September 24, 2025 asserts that Robert Shillman, described as a top pro-Israel donor, terminated support for Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA in the days before Kirk’s death and that he planned to redirect funds to other pro-Likud and anti-Islam groups. That piece presents a specific allegation about a single, high-profile donor’s recent move, but it does not place that action in 2024; rather, it situates the termination in the immediate lead-up to Kirk’s death, which reporting dates in late 2025 ^{[2] [3]}.

4. Contrasting coverage — inflows after crisis vs. alleged withdrawals

Other contemporaneous reporting emphasizes renewed or increased donations to Turning Point USA and affiliated efforts after the public crisis surrounding Kirk, citing new pledges and continued large gifts. These pieces do not corroborate claims of a wave of 2024 donor defections and instead show fundraising resilience or inflows into the organization’s network. The juxtaposition of inflows with a single 2025 termination claim highlights why asserting broad 2024 withdrawals would be unsupported by the documents provided ^{[4] [5]}.

5. Gaps, uncertainty, and next steps for verification

Available materials leave critical gaps: they do not produce a dated list of donors who left Turning Point USA during 2024, nor do they include financial records, donor letters, or public statements documenting such withdrawals. To establish a verifiable list one would need contemporaneous donor communications, IRS filings or itemized grants, and multiple independent confirmations of any claimed terminations. The supplied reporting points readers toward ambiguous evidence and a single post-2024 allegation rather than definitive proof of major donor withdrawals in 2024 ^{[1] [2]}.

6. Bottom line for the question asked — what can be stated now

Based on the supplied sources, the accurate conclusion is that there is no verifiable list in the dataset of major donors who withdrew funding from Turning Point USA in 2024; major-donor profiles and revenue summaries show substantial 2024 receipts, and the only explicit termination reported pertains to a 2025 timing and a single donor’s reported redirection of support. Any claim that multiple major donors pulled funding in 2024 exceeds what these sources substantiate and would require additional contemporaneous documentation for confirmation ^{[1] [2]}.
