Turning Point USA has just renamed its headquarters. The name change comes after the organization received a $10 million gift last Summer. The donation was made to TPUSA while Charlie Kirk was still alive, and as a show of gratitude towards the generous givers, he offered to name TPUSA’s headquarters after them. The Daily Wire shared details on what the new headquarters will be named and why: At a ceremony in Arizona on the eve of Turning Point USA’s 2025 America Fest, a crowd cheered as Erika Kirk announced that the organization’s headquarters would be renamed the “Buckman Campus.” Nelda and Karl Buckman donated $10 million to TPUSA this past summer. Before he was assassinated in September, founder Charlie Kirk told the Buckmans he would rename the campus he built in recognition of their generosity. “You know what I loved about Charlie was he wasn’t afraid to ask,” Nelda Buckman told The Daily Wire. “I know that it’s well invested, and I know that it’s gonna be well used. I just am so excited to have that opportunity.” Buckman said she and her husband were waiting for the sale of their company to close before making the multimillion-dollar donation. She said she’s thankful it happened this summer, so Kirk received the money before he was murdered. “We were able to give it in June, so he knew,” Nelda said. “It’s a joy to be able to do it, really and truly.” Charlie’s relationship with the Buckmans goes back years. “The thing about Charlie that was fascinating to me is I would get text messages, and I would think, ‘Oh, how neat, he’s got a great intern sending me a Bible verse.’ Then I found out, no, that was Charlie. Sometimes I would send him a verse back or maybe something funny, but I always thought it was very interesting that Charlie was not too busy to reach out to the people he cared about.” Now the philanthropist is spending more time with Erika. They talk TPUSA, expanding the high school division called Club America, but what Nelda says they really enjoy bonding over is motherhood. Newsmwax noted it was the biggest donation in the organization’s history: TPUSA HQ RENAMED: Turning Point USA’s headquarters was renamed the Buckman Campus after a $10 million gift from Nelda and Karl Buckman, the largest in the organization’s history. https://t.co/0x4Z2lMKHR — NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) January 1, 2026 Glasstire gave a brief background on the Buckmans: Last month, philanthropists Karl and Nelda Buckman announced the launch of Nelda Studios, a media company and philanthropic organization that supports creativity and the arts.
