Which public figures have been verified donors to the fundraisers for Renee Good or the ICE agent, and how much did they give?

1. What the campaigns are and which are verified

There are multiple crowdfunding efforts tied to the case: a GoFundMe organized for Renee Good’s widow and family was verified by GoFundMe and closed after raising roughly $1.5 million from roughly 38,000–38,500 donors, while separate fundraisers surfaced to support ICE agent Jonathan Ross but remained unverified or under review by the platform at the times reported ^{[2] [3] [4] [5]}.

2. Public figures identified as donors — Bill Ackman and the amount

Multiple outlets report that Pershing Square founder Bill Ackman disclosed a $10,000 donation to a Ross-support GoFundMe and said he had tried to contribute to the Good family page but it had already been closed, making Ackman the only named public figure publicly confirmed by the reporting to have given money to a Ross fundraiser ^{[1] [2] [6] [7]}. News organizations including USA TODAY and Forbes cite Ackman’s $10,000 contribution to the Clyde Emmons-created Ross page, and Snopes documents Ackman’s public posts acknowledging that donation and his attempted contribution to Good’s verified fundraiser ^{[1] [6] [7]}.

3. Other high-value contributions reported, and anonymity limits

Reporting notes other large contributions to both sides but many were anonymous; for example, the GoFundMe for Good listed a top contribution of $50,000 from an anonymous donor, and a Ross fundraiser listed at least one other $10,000 donation and several $5,000 gifts that were anonymous or not tied to public figures in coverage ^{[2] [1]}. Because platforms permit anonymity and media reporting relies on organizer disclosures and platform summaries, named public figures beyond Ackman do not appear in the coverage provided and cannot be verified from these sources ^{[2] [1] [6]}.

4. Verification status matters for “verified donors” claims

It is important to separate platform verification of fundraisers from verification of individual donors: GoFundMe verified the fundraiser for Renee Good’s family and closed it for transfer, while the Ross pages were under review or unverified, leaving funds in limbo and making platform confirmation of donor identities less certain; outlets repeatedly note GoFundMe’s Trust & Safety review of Ross-related pages ^{[5] [6] [8]}. The unverified status of Ross pages means some large donations reported by aggregators or organizers could still be returned or disputed under GoFundMe policy ^{[5] [6]}.

5. Misinformation claims and named-but-disputed donors

Several viral claims naming specific corporate figures as donors were debunked or found unsupported in the reporting: fact-checkers such as Snopes found no evidence that the owner or CEO of Chipotle donated to Ross, and recommended caution because anonymity and platform statements complicate rapid attribution ^[7]. News outlets uniformly foreground Ackman as the only prominent, self-identified donor reported in the available coverage, and emphasize that most donations—on both sides—came from ordinary individuals rather than publicly prominent figures ^{[1] [9] [10]}.

6. Bottom line

Based on the reporting provided, the only public figure who has been verifiably reported as a donor to a fundraiser tied to the ICE agent is Bill Ackman, at $10,000 to a GoFundMe supporting Jonathan Ross; the Renee Good verified GoFundMe raised roughly $1.5 million from tens of thousands of donors but public-figure donors to that campaign are not identified in the cited coverage, and many large gifts on both sides were reported as anonymous or remain unverified by platforms ^{[1] [2] [3] [5] [7]}. If additional named public-figure donors exist, they are not documented in the sources supplied here.
