DALLAS, Texas — Several North Texas-based companies contributed significant financial support to President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, aiming to foster relationships with political leaders and secure their interests in Washington.

Corporate donations are a common practice, with businesses often seeking to engage with policymakers from both political parties.

Dallas-based AT&T donated $2 million to the inaugural committee. As a major telecommunications company, AT&T aimed to maintain strong connections with federal regulators and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of engaging with lawmakers across political affiliations.

ExxonMobil, headquartered in Irving, Texas, contributed $500,000. The energy giant has a history of participating in political events to engage with national and global policymakers, ensuring continued dialogue with decision-makers.

Southwest Airlines, operating out of Dallas Love Field, donated $250,000. The airline, like many others, seeks to remain engaged with industry regulators and policymakers, underscoring its interest in aviation policy matters.

American Airlines, another Dallas-based corporation, gave $1 million to the inaugural committee. The airline frequently engages with federal authorities to discuss aviation issues and maintained its commitment to open communication with key officials through this donation.

Comerica Bank, also based in Dallas, donated $50,000. The financial services company regularly works with government entities to navigate regulations affecting the banking sector.

Other notable contributors include Fluor Corporation, an engineering firm in Irving, which donated $100,000, and Texas Instruments, a semiconductor company in Dallas, which gave $50,000. Fluor, with interests in infrastructure and energy, and Texas Instruments, focused on technological innovation, both seek to influence national policy decisions impacting their industries.

J.C. Penney, based in Plano, Texas, donated $100,000. The retail giant’s contribution reflects its interest in policies affecting commerce and trade.

The Trump inauguration committee received donations from numerous organizations, with companies across multiple sectors contributing. These contributions highlight the strategic interests companies have in engaging with government officials and shaping policies that affect their industries.

Corporate donations are a recognized form of engagement in the U.S., allowing companies to present their positions on policy issues.

These contributions are disclosed publicly, ensuring transparency in political financing. By participating in political events, corporations aim to stay involved in the decision-making process that affects their business interests.
