Nvidia to start employee-funded US political action committee

On Thursday, Aug 27, 2026, Nvidia announced plans to establish an employee-funded political action committee, NVPAC, to increase its influence on Washington policy.
The move follows similar actions by major tech companies including Meta Platforms and Alphabet's Google; artificial intelligence startup Anthropic established its own group, "AnthroPAC," in April.
Federal Election Commission records show executives Gavin Sherry and Sundeep Madra donated $443,000 to the Republican National Committee on June 24, demonstrating existing political engagement.
CEO Jensen Huang has cultivated a close relationship with President Trump, meeting repeatedly with officials this year regarding artificial intelligence; last year, Trump reversed course, allowing Nvidia to sell export-focused H20 chips to China at a 15 percent cut.
The administration also enabled the firm to sell more powerful H200 chips to China for a 25 percent revenue cut, positioning Nvidia to formalize its policy engagement efforts.
