As a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible organization, The NRA Foundation has become America’s leading charity in support of the shooting sports.  Our Shooting For The Future effort will build a permanent endowment in support of the shooting sports.  Whatever your company’s interest, we have a permanent fund that will support these programs forever.  They include: 

*  Direct Contributions

Many companies have made a commitment to the future by giving directly to The NRA Foundation. This is the easiest and most direct way of making a gift to the foundation.  Special recognition opportunities are available to acknowledge companies that have made an endowment commitment to The NRA Foundation.

 *  Licensing Opportunities

The NRA Foundation offers companies the opportunity to license its logo for use on your products.  Some companies have developed special merchandise bearing the foundation logo, with a portion of the sale of each product benefiting The NRA Foundation endowment.  The foundation also has unique logos for some of its endowments such as Hunting & Wildlife Conservation and Law Enforcement Training that may also be licensed for product embellishment.  Click here to view a list of our current Licensing Partners. 

*  Shooting For The Future Round Up Program

If your company retails product on a traditional mail-order basis and/or through Internet on-line ordering, we are pleased to offer the opportunity to partner with us in our Shooting For The Future Program.  Funds are raised as you ask your customers to “round up” their purchases to the next highest dollar, or contribute more to support firearms safety education, wildlife conservation and other firearms related public service programs via The NRA Foundation.  Millions of dollars have been raised in this manner, proving that “a little change can change a lot.”   Click here to view a list of our current round up partners.

*  Friends of NRA Sponsorship—Vendor Direct Program

Many corporations sponsor the Friends of NRA fund raising events by underwriting the program with direct contributions or providing product at below cost.  Tens of thousand event attendees are there by exposed to their corporate name and/or products.  A number of firearm manufacturers have offered additional product for purchase by event committees and support The NRA Foundation with a contribution for each firearm purchased in the Vendor Direct Program. 

*  Payroll Deduction—Workplace Giving—Matching Gifts—United Way—Combined Federal Campaign 

Workplace giving is a vehicle by which you can make it possible for your employees to contribute The NRA Foundation.  Easily facilitated, employees can choose to have their contribution deducted from each paycheck, conveniently spreading the contribution over the course of a year in small amounts each pay period, or they could make a tax-deductible donation during a drive your company sponsors.  Another alternative is for your company to participate in a matching gift program, where you would agree to match a percentage of each employee’s contribution.
