WASHINGTON — Ford Motor Co. will contribute $1 million and a fleet of vehicles for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration in January, a company spokesperson told The Detroit News.

The company did not reveal what kinds of vehicles it would provide, but the Dearborn automaker joins a growing list of major businesses pitching in for Trump's return to the White House on Jan. 20.

Those companies include Amazon.com., Meta Platforms, OpenAI, Robinhood Markets, Uber Technologies, Bank of America Corp., Goldman Sachs Group and others, according to reports from several news outlets.

The Detroit News has reached out to General Motors Co. and Stellantis NV asking if they too plan on making contributions. Neither automaker responded immediately Monday.

Ford contributed $250,000 to Trump's first inauguration in 2017, according to data from OpenSecrets. The same data show that GM gave about $500,000 that year, and no other automakers contributed.

The automakers gave those same amounts four years later for President Joe Biden's inauguration.

Trump's 2025 inaugural committee will need to file a full list of donors who gave more than $200 and their donation amounts within 90 days of the inauguration.

It is customary for the president-elect to form a committee to fund and coordinate festivities around their inauguration. Such committees finance all inaugural events apart from the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol and the luncheon honoring the incoming president and vice president.

A congressional committee — the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies — is responsible for planning those events.
