The NRA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, raises funds to support eligible public interest activities of the NRA and other organizations that defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans.

The NRA Foundation provides grants to fund activities and support programs in the United States to promote firearms and hunting safety, to enhance marksmanship skills of those in the shooting sports, and to educate the public about firearms in their historic, technological and artistic context. These grants benefit constituencies such as children, women, people with physical disabilities, gun collectors, law enforcement officers, hunters and competitive shooters.
