The Daily Stormer is primarily funded through donations which Anglin solicits regularly from site visitors.[15] His father was protested against by Anti-Racist Action for receiving donations from the site's readers to pass on to his son.[10] In February 2017, the website announced a corporate sponsor—Smerff Electrical, owned by Simon Hickey of Brisbane, Australia,[10] whose website contains images of alt-right meme Pepe the Frog.[16] Anglin told Mother Jones that he received donations from Silicon Valley, and that Santa Clara County, California—home of Apple Inc. and Intel—was the largest source of traffic to his website.[17]
