According to an analysis by Media Matters for America, Moms for Liberty benefits financially from right-wing funding and ties to traditional Republican political figures. Moms for Liberty is well-connected to Republican politicians and groups and financially supported by more than membership fees and T-shirt sales.

Moms for Liberty has received financial support from Conservatives for Good Government, a conservative Florida political action committee.
