The NRA Foundation recently highlighted its heartfelt appreciation for the companies and families whose generosity has helped advance its mission for more than three decades.

“For more than 30 years, the NRA Foundation has stood as the nation’s leading charitable organization dedicated to enriching our nation’s cherished firearms heritage,” said Peter Churchbourne, executive director of The NRA Foundation. “Every donor listed here plays a vital role in ensuring that when we make a grant—to a local club, a competitive school shooting team, a first-responder training program—we are fulfilling our mission of empowering safe, confident, law-abiding gun owners in every community across the country.”

The NRA Foundation proudly recognizes the extraordinary leadership and commitment of the following donors:

  • Larry and Brenda Potterfield

  • Brownell Family Foundation
  • Cabela’s Outdoor Fund
  • Beretta USA

  • Taurus
  • Ruger
  • Mossberg
  • Century Arms
  • Diamondback Firearms
  • Weatherby
  • SIG Sauer

“These partners have helped make possible everything from youth shooting sports and range development to gun safety courses and law enforcement training,” Churchbourne said. “Their generosity is more than a contribution; it is a commitment to the values that define our country and the responsible citizens who protect them.”

The Foundation remains steadfast in that mission for 2026, advancing firearm safety education, ensuring access to effective training and supporting programs that strengthen America’s shooting sports traditions.
