As 2025 comes to a close, The NRA Foundation is marking a year of significant growth, resilience, and impact, with assets reaching an all-time high and grantmaking continuing to strengthen communities across the country.
This milestone reflects more than financial performance. It is the result of disciplined stewardship, principled leadership, Trustee integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the Foundation’s charitable mission. In a year marked by uncertainty and challenges for the firearm industry, the NRA Foundation has remained focused on what matters most: supporting marksmanship training, hunting, youth shooting sports programs, and education initiatives nationwide. We are helping maintain and grow the base of firearm enthusiasts while focusing on safety and training for a strong rebound.
“The Foundation’s strength in 2025 is a testament to leadership, integrity, and mission-first decision-making,” said Peter Churchbourne, Executive Director of The NRA Foundation. “Our success is rooted in a Board of Trustees that is accomplished, deeply committed to our cause, and dedicated to operating with professionalism and accountability. That committed base is what allows us to serve our grantees and donors with confidence.”
Throughout the year, the Foundation continued to fund hundreds of programs across the country, reinforcing its role as the nation’s leading charitable supporter of America’s shooting sports and hunting heritage. These efforts were made possible by strong governance, responsible financial management, and the trust of donors who expect their contributions to be used effectively and as intended.
Looking ahead to 2026, the NRA Foundation enters the new year on solid footing, with momentum to continue expanding its impact. With a strong balance sheet, clear mission focus, and experienced leadership, the Foundation remains well positioned to meet the needs of communities, instructors, clubs, and organizations it serves.
“As we move into the next year, we do so with confidence,” Churchbourne added. “The same principles that guided us through 2025 – integrity, accountability, vision, and resilience – will continue to define our work and drive our success.”
