One Team, One Voice
Committed Citizens Working Together
With support from the NRA Field Staff, thousands of passionate volunteers committed to the future of the shooting sports participate in the program by organizing committees, securing donations, selling tickets, and hosting a Friends of NRA event in their communities.
Whether you’re serving on the committee or attending with family and friends, you’ll meet committed citizens working together to protect our American freedoms.
Investing in the Next Generation
Committee volunteers are appointed to State Fund Committees to make recommendations for local grant funding in areas such as youth education, women-focused clinics, law enforcement training, hunter safety, range improvement, firearms and marksmanship training and safety.
Recognizing the impact American youth has on the future of the shooting sports, State Fund Committees frequently recommend grants for youth programs, allocating the most significant portion of monies to this vital area.
One Vision
Friends of NRA events boil down to one goal—fundraising for the future of the shooting sports.

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.
