Since its inception, Friends of NRA has held over 14,000 events, reached over two million attendees, and raised over $180 million through its wildly-successful fundraising program for The NRA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
Every year, The NRA Foundation allocates half of all net proceeds to go back into the state in which it was raised, where Friends of NRA State Fund Committees decide on programs and projects to fund on the local and state levels. The other half of funds raised at Friends of NRA banquets is used to fund projects similiar to those seen on the local and state levels but with a national scope. These funds help sustain over 180 NRA National Supported Programs across the country.
So whether you attend a Friends of NRA banquet for the fun, fellowship, or fund-raising, you can be confident that you are helping safeguard programs across the nation that prepare today’s generations to be tomorrow’s guardians of the Second Amendment.

Four stars is the highest rating a charity can receive and is based on both a charity's financial efficiency and financial capacity.
