WASHINGTON, Dec. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that Administrator Kelly Loeffler has fulfilled the pledge she made upon re-entering public office to donate her annual federal pay once again to philanthropic organizations. The donations made each quarter of 2025 supported numerous nonprofits including disaster relief organizations that responded to the Texas Hill Country floods and the western Alaska typhoon; the West Virginia National Guard Foundation, and groups dedicated to empowering America’s youth, such as the Turning Point USA Foundation. The contributions build on Administrator Loeffler’s prior public service, when she also donated her federal pay as a U.S. Senator from Georgia.

“Like President Trump, Administrator Loeffler stepped away from a successful private sector career to serve the country because she is deeply committed to fulfilling the promise of the America First agenda. This commitment is reflected both in her work at the SBA, which had a record year, and her decision to donate her federal salary to charity,” said SBA Spokesperson Maggie Clemmons. “Her contributions benefitted an array of organizations, including nonprofits working to support disaster survivors, servicemembers, and America’s next generation – and she looks forward to continuing this tradition as she continues the fight for America’s future, especially on Main Street.”

Administrator Loeffler made donations to the following organizations, by quarter:

First Quarter

• Kids2Leaders

Second Quarter

• Kerry County Flood Relief Fund
• Samaritan’s Purse
• Texans on Mission
• TEXSAR

Third Quarter

• Turning Point USA Foundation

Fourth Quarter

• Team Rubicon – Alaska Anchorage
• The American Red Cross of Alaska
• West Virginia National Guard Foundation
