Marjorie Taylor Greene’s campaign fundraising is driven overwhelmingly by small donors. In the 2023–2024 election cycle, about 65.01% of her campaign money came from contributions under $200, while PAC donations accounted for roughly 0.40%. Federal Election Commission data shows her approach relies far more on grassroots support than on corporate or institutional funding, according to OpenSecrets.
In the first half of 2025, Greene’s principal campaign committee reported $1,280,000 in receipts, including $760,690 in small-dollar donations and $321,572 in itemized contributions, as detailed in her FEC mid-year filing. The largest share of her donor base is retirees, who gave about $2,792,525 in the last cycle, followed by contributions from Republican and conservative networks totaling roughly $867,370, according to OpenSecrets industry data.
Greene has also drawn criticism for rhetoric widely condemned as antisemitic, including claims that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) “owns” members of Congress and is “America Last,” as reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Such remarks have sparked condemnation from Jewish leaders but also generated national media coverage — attention that can energize her small-dollar donor base and fuel additional contributions.
Her ability to turn outrage into fundraising opportunities was also on display in her recent public feud with far-right activist Laura Loomer. Loomer came under fire for attacking the U.S. Army’s tribute to Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg, calling him an “immigrant” and “anti-Trump Leftist.” Greene responded sharply, defending Groberg’s service and telling Loomer to “shut up”, while accusing her of disrespecting a decorated veteran. Loomer then escalated the dispute with personal attacks and threats of ethics complaints, as reported by The Daily Beast. The episode drew extensive media attention and social media engagement — the kind of visibility that has historically coincided with fundraising surges for Greene.
She also raises funds through allied political committees, including a joint fundraising committee, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s People Over Politicians (C00766774), and a leadership PAC, MTG for Georgia Leadership Committee (C00869826). In the 2023–2024 cycle, People Over Politicians spent about 45% of its disbursements on transfers to other committees, nearly 28% on unclassified expenses, 16% on administrative costs, and 11% on fundraising, according to OpenSecrets’ expenditure breakdown. MTG for Georgia Leadership Committee raised $20,089 and spent $2,400 during the same period.
Her political financing has also drawn scrutiny. In 2021, watchdog group Common Cause filed a complaint alleging Greene violated federal “soft money” rules by soliciting unlimited donations for a super PAC tied to the Georgia Senate runoffs, based on a fundraising video first reported by ProPublica. The Federal Election Commission resolved the case (MUR 7908) in 2023 with a conciliation agreement and a $12,000 civil penalty.
Analysts have noted that Greene’s fundraising often spikes after moments of national controversy, illustrating a model in which political conflict — whether over policy, ethics, or inflammatory rhetoric—can directly translate into campaign cash. While her donor base is broad and largely small-dollar, her use of joint committees and intra-network transfers shows a layered approach to sustaining her political operations.
