Fellow members,
As an NRA member you may not be aware of the Friends of the NRA. It is the portion of the NRA that does education and programs like (Women on Target, Eddie eagle and more), otherwise know as the Foundation. Because this portion is non-profit, the foundation does not do any of the lobbing or politicking. The Friends of NRA raises money to provide grants to non-profits. No salaries are paid for from the money we raise, all profits go towards grants.
In 2023 in the state of Virginia we provided grants to the following:
•4-H Shooting programs – $136,611
•Boy Scout Shooting Programs – $74,637
•Youth Shooting Programs- $86,889
•JROTC Shooting Programs- $32,597
•College Shooting Teams – $25,928
•Ranges/Education – $19,090
•LE & Veteran programs – $14,880
We can provide these grants because of money raised at banquets such as the one schedule by the Tidewater Friends of NRA. The charity event involves games, raffles, and a live auction as well as dinner. It is a great event serving a great cause. You can purchase individual tickets for $100 each or you can purchase a table of 8 and get a gun with the purchase!! Prices of a table of 8 are $1000, $1500, $2000, $2500 and $3000. The available firearms change as you change in price. If you buy a table now, we will order it and you can get your gun before the event! Contact me to see the list of available guns!
