Ten Years of Payments Mapped on One Chart
What This Image Shows
A flow chart on an off-white background titled "Payments to Insider-Connected Entities Across 10 Fiscal Years." It maps reported payments from Turning Point USA, described on the chart as a 501(c)(3) with more than $85 million in annual revenue and EIN 80-0835023, to a set of vendors and entities across a 2013 to 2023 timeline, using colour-coded blocks, arrows and small portraits.
The named entities include, under consulting and political vendors: Rally Forge LLC, Lionrock Ventures, Mentzer Media, MWPolitical and Strategic Partners and Media. Under research: Clocktower LLC (Nevada), marked $999,821 (FY2020) and "Status: Dissolved 2022", annotated "Research project - no public deliverable identified." Under media and books: Arsenal Media Group $613K, Pursuit Ventures LLC $333K, and a Benny Johnson salary: $486K. Under printing: Resource One (DBA) Worldwide Printing and Distribution, Moore DM Group at more than $9M over three years, and Conrad Direct $1M+. Under board and family intersections: Tyler Bowyer, TPUSA COO and board chair; Lori Frantzve, director and the chief executive's mother; and Stacy Sheridan LLCs, $2.7M+, annotated "Fundraiser billing charity while salaried." Summary boxes read "$615M paid vs $1.35M printing reported", "$15.2M+ steered to insider-controlled companies" and "Superfeed $120K (PAC payment)." Its stated sources are IRS Form 990 (2013-2023), an Associated Press investigation (Oct 2023), ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, state corporate filings and FEC disclosures.
This is a third-party compilation, and the figures on it should be checked against those primary filings rather than accepted from the graphic — one of the summary lines, the $615M figure, is difficult to reconcile with the organisation's stated annual revenue. Payments to vendors connected to insiders can be entirely lawful and fully disclosed. No court or regulator has found that Turning Point USA or any individual named here did anything unlawful, and no such claim is made on this site. The context worth holding alongside it is the September 2, 2025 internal memo in which Charlie Kirk ordered his own organisation-wide efficiency review.
