Nvidia plans to establish a political action committee (PAC) funded by employee contributions, to be named NVPAC, according to people familiar with the matter. The organization aims to enhance Nvidia's influence on U. S. policy-making. Nvidia declined to comment.
In the United States, companies typically set up federal political action committees to donate to political candidates aligned with their policy goals, thereby playing a role in elections and public policy agendas. Nvidia thus joins a roster of technology companies that have established similar bodies, including Meta and Alphabet, Google's parent company.
Federal Election Commission records show that Nvidia executives Gavin Sherry and Sundeep Madra donated $443,000 to the Republican National Committee on June 24. Previously, Nvidia executives had contributed to various political groups and campaigns.
