About Club for Growth
Club for Growth’s recent grants show a political-advocacy funder that moves large sums through 527 exempt activities and general operating support. Its biggest grant in the latest data was $2,375,000 to American Jobs & Growth Fund for general operating support, followed by $2,000,000 grants to Friends of Ron Desantis and Win It Back Pac for 527 exempt activities. That mix points to a funder built to support electoral and policy-aligned organizations rather than direct services or individual aid. The foundation also appears in the infrastructure of conservative policy networks. It gave $399,054 to Club for Growth Foundation for general support, $80,000 to Liberty Justice Center, and $45,000 to American Conservative Union Foundation. Other grants went to groups tied to tax limitation, national policy coordination, and ballot or campaign activity, including Cfg Action - Missouri Federal Committee and Arizona’s Best. Across the sample, the pattern is consistent with a national donor supporting organizations that work on regulation, taxes, education, trade, and broader economic policy.

How Club for Growth Gives

The foundation gave $8,954,535 in annual grants and holds $13,616,124 in assets. The sample shows repeated support for some recipients across multiple years: The Federalist Society received grants in 2023 and 2025, and Club for Growth Foundation appears in 2023. The foundation funds organizations rather than individuals and does not make program-related investments. The recent grants are mostly framed as general support, general operating support, or 527 exempt activities, suggesting flexible backing for affiliated nonprofits and political committees.
