Trump, 78, was treated for a gunshot wound to his ear and released from a local hospital Saturday night.
Also contributing to the online fundraiser for the other shooting victims were Trump surrogate Vivek Ramaswamy ($30,000), conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro ($15,000), and Trump's daughter Ivanka ($10,000).
As of Sunday morning, more than $1 million was raised for "supporters and families wounded or killed in today's brutal and horrific assassination attempt," according to the listing on social media.
"All donations will be directed to these proud Americans as they grieve and recover. May God bless and unite our nation."
The shooter -- identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks -- was also killed at the scene Saturday.
