A leaked email suggests that TPUSA may offer donors a private meeting and photo opportunity with Donald Trump.
Staggering $500,000 Donald Trump Access Package Exposed in Leaked TPUSA Email
A marketing executive with ties to Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is reportedly offering private meetings and photo opportunities with President Donald Trump to donors willing to contribute a substantial sum of money to the organization's political action committee.
The offer is linked to an upcoming event on Friday, April 17, at Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona, where Trump is scheduled to speak.
While the event is free and open to the public, the high-priced package promises closer access.
The arrangement has sparked discussions as critics question wealthy donors being given a chance to meet the president in a more personal setting.
Package Includes Round-Trip Travel to Phoenix on a Semi-Private Charter Plane
Judd Legum's X post shares details of TPUSA's $500,000 offer for potential donors in exchange for a meeting with Donald Trump.
Trump's scheduled speech will be part of Turning Point USA’s Build the Red Wall campaign.
According to a leaked email sent to journalist Judd Legum's Popular Information newsletter on Substack, TPUSA is offering donors who contribute $500,000 a private meeting and photo opportunity with Trump.
The package also includes a round-trip travel to Phoenix on a semi-private charter plane and a private tour of TPUSA's headquarters.
It has been revealed that the email was sent to potential donors by Sinan Kanatsiz, the founder and chief executive officer of public relations firm KCOMM, who is known to have strong connections in Trump’s political circle.
However, the official website set up by TPUSA for the Build the Red Wall campaign makes no mention of the $500,000 package.
'Donald Trump Is a Businessman'
Kanatsiz confirmed to Popular Information that he sent the email to connect potential donors with TPUSA's senior major gifts director, Matt Scherr.
He said he was acting as a "volunteer" for the organization and shared the message with only a "few people.
According to him, none of the people he contacted accepted the offer.
In addition, Kanatsiz also noted that he isn't aware of anyone else who has paid $500,000 to meet Trump.
“I have a network of friends that want to support Turning Point that may have never met them,” he said.
Kanatsiz has served as a high-level networker for Trump and TPUSA for several years. In December 2024, he helped organize an event at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's private club in Palm Beach, Florida.
"Donald Trump is a businessman and any business owner who doesn't want to align with this administration will be left in the dark," Kanatsiz told the Orange County Business Journal.
"I am all in to help my network grow, communicate, and engage with our administration," he added.
Kanatsiz also wrote on LinkedIn about hosting TPUSA leaders at his own “command center.”
“Last night, my family and I opened up our Command Center to host Turning Point USA's leadership for an evening with more than 60 leaders across our New Frontier, Venture Capitalists, National Security Leaders, Media and the Enterprise Business Community," he stated.
“My family and I are committed to Turning Point USA, to our country, to the administration, and most importantly the next generation of Americans," Kanatsiz further added.
