Just as a firmly laid foundation is the basis for any building, a consistent supply of resources is vital to sustaining that building. That’s the role of The NRA Foundation's Endowment — sustaining the foundation in the present while also providing a permanent source of revenue to NRA and other programs that carry, sustain and grow the shooting sports for years to come.
An endowment is a permanent fund that is never touched — only a portion of the interest is used for qualified programs. The balance is reinvested by professional advisors who help ensure the fund's growth, providing a source of income in perpetuity.
