Large corporations routinely finance both parties&#x27; national conventions; the fact that several like Walmart and Coca-Cola are pulling their funds because they don&#x27;t like the nominee is unusual.<p>I can&#x27;t seem to find any information about how the Democratic convention is being funded this year, but in 2012 they specifically rejected corporate funding [0]. Not sure if that was a one-time thing or meant to be an enduring policy.<p>Also, boo on Forbes for calling it &quot;Trump&#x27;s Republican National Convention&quot; in the headline. It&#x27;s run by the party, not the candidate, and there&#x27;s currently a lot of contention between Trump and the convention leadership [1] so calling it his is a little misleading.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com&#x2F;2011&#x2F;02&#x2F;04&#x2F;no-corporate-money-for-2012-democratic-convention&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com&#x2F;2011&#x2F;02&#x2F;04&#x2F;no-corporate-m...</a>
