The National Rifle Association (NRA) Foundation is at the forefront of shooting sports in the United States, a tradition that has earned it both praise and criticism from society. The debates about guns and their effect on individuals, groups and societies are always contentious because of the wide range of opinions.

The NRA Foundation, nonetheless, was established for a purpose - to support education programs about shooting sports. It prides itself on being the country's largest charitable organization dedicated to ensuring the access and availability of training programs for youth education, hunter education, and law enforcement training in conservation, firearms safety, and marksmanship training, among others.

Individuals, groups and organizations with the firm conviction about the right to keep and bear arms among the citizens of the United States should look into donations to the NRA Foundation. The non-profit organization has tirelessly and directly lobbies for and against laws related to firearms, all in the interest of protecting constitutional rights, thus, making it one of the most influential lobbying groups in the country.
