Friends of NRA is a key grassroots event that supports thousands of community service related to firearm education, hunter safety, wildlife conservation, range improvements, youth marksmanship, and law enforcement among others. Working with the NRA field representative, members and volunteers organize banquets in their communities, complete with auctions, special drawings, and fellowship. Much of the merchandise at the banquets is donated or provided at reduced cost by hundreds of participating vendors.
Half of the money raised by each Friends of NRA banquet will be spent in the state in which it was held. The other half supports qualifying national-level programs like Eddie Eagle Gunsafe® Program, Women on Target®, and other educational and safety services. State Fund Committee made up of volunteers review grant applications from local organizations and make recommendation to the The NRA Foundation on how the money might best be used in their areas.
