  Various technology companies and their leaders pledged donations and services for the inauguration. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said through a spokesperson that he would make a $1 million personal donation. Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Meta and the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, sent $1 million. It was also reported in The Wall Street Journal that Amazon's CEO, Jeff Bezos, offered to stream the ceremony on Amazon Prime Video, and this amounted to a $1 million in-kind donation on top of a $1 million cash donation. Apple CEO Tim Cook personally donated $1 million. Uber and its CEO Dara Khosrowshahi each agreed to donate $1 million to the inauguration. Alphabet donated $1 million and supported an inauguration livestream with a direct link on the homepage of YouTube. Microsoft, Adobe, and Perplexity also donated $1 million. NPR quoted Margaret O'Mara, a Silicon Valley historian at the University of Washington, as saying these donations were due to some of these tech leaders, having previously been in conflict with Trump, wishing to reduce regulatory pressure on their companies under the incoming administration.
  
  Ford Motor Company and General Motors announced that they would donate $1 million each and provide a fleet of vehicles for the inauguration. Toyota, Chevron, Hyundai, and Stellantis also donated $1 million.
  
  Various financial services businesses and their leaders donated at least $1 million, including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JPMorgan, Kraken, Coinbase, Intuit, Robinhood, Ken Griffin, Ripple, and Ondo Finance.
  
  Major donors from the telecommunications industry included AT&T, Comcast, and Charter Communications.
  
  Major donors from the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry included PhRMA, Pfizer, and Hims & Hers.
  
  Major donors from the manufacturing and industrial sector included Stanley Black & Decker, Pratt Industries, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin.
  
  Other major donors included Delta Air Lines and McDonald's.
  
  In April 2025, it was reported that $239 million was donated to Trump's inaugural committee, more than doubling the previous record of $107 million raised for Trump's 2017 inauguration, including 29 gifts totaling $13 million from subsidiaries of companies based outside the United States.
