Documents obtained by POLITICO in 2022 revealed some big names have poured money into Haley's non-profit Stand For America in recent years, including the late casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam, who both gave $250,000 in 2019. Miriam Adelson would later donate a further $5,000 to the PAC in 2021.

More recently, Haley has received support from wealthy real estate developer Harlan Crow. It's not clear which other big names feature among her backers, but she doesn't seem short of supporters; according to her campaign, Haley had received 160,000 donations – the "vast majority" of which were under $200, reported The New York Times – across all 50 states by the end of the second quarter. Her campaign also announced she'd hosted a sold-out $25,000-per-person fundraiser in Los Angeles following the second GOP debate.

However, Haley's campaign has come under fire for claims it's made in the past. Back in April, Haley's campaign manager Betsy Ankney circulated a release that stated the GOP hopeful had raised "more than $11 million in just six weeks." CNN reported this figure was reached by double-counting the $2.7 million "that first landed in the joint fundraising committee and then was parceled out to the campaign committee and the leadership PAC."
