On June 15, American taxpayers will cover the costs of soldiers, tanks, and aircraft in Trump's military parade, but several major tech companies have provided funding for the parade's events.
According to a recent statement from the "America250" foundation, companies such as Oracle, Amazon, Coinbase, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir are important sponsors of this non-profit organization designated by Congress to raise funds for the United States' 250th anniversary celebration.
Although the 250th anniversary of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence will not officially arrive until July 4, 2026, the America250 foundation, chaired by former US Treasury Secretary Rosie Rios and Trump's former campaign manager Chris LaCivita, has already arranged audience reception and festival activities for the controversial military parade this Saturday.
Weeks before the parade, America250's website also listed Meta as one of its highest-level sponsors. A press release on May 22 mentioned Meta as a sponsor and announced that Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, four American automotive brands, have become partners.
