From the PresidentMESSAGE

IT is an honor to present to you The NRA Foundation’s Annual Report for 2015. Our thanks go to youand your generous commitment to support The Foundation’s activities. Grants awarded to qualified

programs from The NRA Foundation totaled $33.5 in 2015 and now exceed $300 million in funding since inception through more than 38,000 grants in support of the shooting sports.

Funds raised by Friends of NRA continue to provide resources for expansion, growth and development of eligible programs at the local, state and national levels. A high priority of The NRA Foundation is its support of public educational programs across America.

The NRA Foundation is committed to working together in planning for the future of the shooting sports and standing behind our country’s traditions. To that end, I would like to offer a special thank you to the gun collecting community. Collectors play a vital role in preserving our history and the American culture of freedom.

As stated by NRA President and distinguished firearms collector, Allan Cors: “Whether it’s hunting, competitive shooting, or gun collecting, when you introduce someone new to the activities we enjoy, you’re giving firearms and the freedom to own them a new ally, shareholder and believer. That helps the NRA, but more importantly, it secures the freedoms the NRA fights for.”

The Foundation is proud of its role in funding support for thousands of eligible programs in communities across the country, and without you our success would not be possible. On behalf of The Foundation Board of Trustees, thank you for trusting our Board and staff to fund programs and projects representing the very best that is the NRA.

FOR more than two decades, The NRA Foundation has served the needs of freedom-lovingAmericans across this great nation. Through your philanthropic leadership, we reached

significant milestones in the history of The NRA Foundation in 2015 that highlight our efforts to preserve freedom for future generations of Americans. Your commitment to Teaching Freedom to our young Americans is clear.

Your support this year, as reflected in this Annual Report, has given The NRA Foundation the necessary resources to:

n Provide life-saving messages to over 28 million school children through our Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program

n Expand and develop our competitions and training of coaches, law enforcement, instructors, women and youth

n Support the development and improvement of ranges and shooting facilities across the country

n Educate young people all across the country in firearm safety through their affiliations with organizations such as Boy Scouts of America, 4-H Clubs, and others that receive NRA Foundation grants

n Award over 300 million in grant support to eligible programs and projects since its inception

n Introduce more students to wildlife and conservation through art with the George Montgomery/NRA Youth Wildlife Art Contest

We are proud to Teach Freedom through programs that instill knowledge about America’s great history, build partnerships with leaders in your communities, and provide grants that are instrumental in funding programs that support our shared vision.

Your leadership and extraordinary support of Freedom’s cause are making a huge difference in our commitment to promote this country’s treasured traditions and the Second Amendment.

On behalf of the entire NRA Family, thank you for your dedication and for your generous contributions that keep America safe and free. I am honored to count on you as a friend and an inspiration in making these accomplishments a reality.

The Ring of Freedom’s grand mission is to gather the

resources required to preserve the Second Amendment

and surround its blessings with impenetrable protection in

perpetuity. Through your leadership, never again will this

peerless liberty suffer the blatant infringement and cultural

disdain it barely survived over the past quarter-century.

THE NRA Ring of Freedom recognizes annual gifts of $1,000 or more to the NRA or any of its affiliates, including The NRA

Foundation. Permanent recognition is given for cash gifts of $25,000 or more or planned gifts of $100,000 or more. Donors who have responded to the NRA’s most urgent challenges with cash gifts of $1,000,000 or more are inducted into the NRA Golden Ring of Freedom. Benefits of joining the NRA Ring of Freedom family include: invitations to special events at NRA Annual Meeting, recognition in an honor roll of donors, subscription to NRA Ring of Freedom Magazine, and invitations to join regional and national NRA Ring of Freedom events.

Report on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the accompanying financial statements of The NRA Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation), which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements, (collectively, financial statements).

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The NRA Foundation, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Nature of Activities and SignificantAccounting Policies

The NRA Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation) is a non-profit organization incorporated in 1990 under the laws of the District of Columbia. The Foundation is organized to be operated exclusively in support of charitable, scientific and educational purposes. The Foundation is supported primarily by Friends of NRA (FONRA) fundraising events and other charitable contributions.

B A S I S O F P R E S E N T A T I O N

The financial statements of the Foundation have been prepared on the accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and other support and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

C L A S S I F I C A T I O N O F N E T A S S E T S

To identify the observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of the resources available to the Foundation, the accounts of the Foundation are maintained in three separate classes of net assets; unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted, based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

Unrestricted net assets represent resources that are not restricted, either temporarily or permanently, by donor-imposed stipulations. They are available for support of the Foundation’s general operations.

Temporarily restricted net assets represent contributions and other inflows of assets whose use by the Foundation is limited by donor-imposed stipulations. These restrictions are temporary in that they either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the Foundation pursuant to those stipulations.

Permanently restricted net assets represent endowment contributions and other inflows of assets whose use by the Foundation is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire by passage of time nor can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the Foundation pursuant to those stipulations.

C A S H A N D C A S H E Q U I V A L E N T S

The Foundation considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

C O N C E N T R A T I O N O F C R E D I T R I S K

The Foundation maintains a cash balance in excess of federally insured limits in an interest bearing account. The Foundation’s policy is to deposit funds only in financially sound institutions. Nevertheless, these deposits are subject to some degree of credit risk. Investments are maintained in financial institutions. Accounts receivable primarily represent funds due to the Foundation for contributions and from FONRA events and committees, and are not collateralized.

The Foundation invests in a professionally managed portfolio that primarily contains money market funds, equity securities, and fixed income securities. Such investments are exposed to various risks, such as market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with such investments, and the level of uncertainty related to changes in value of such investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk in the near term would materially affect investment balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.

I N V E S T M E N T S

Investments consist primarily of money market funds, equity securities, and fixed income securities which are carried at fair value, as determined by an independent market valuation service using the closing prices at the end of the period. In calculating realized gains and losses, the cost of securities sold is determined by the specific-identification method. To adjust the carrying value of the investments, the change in fair value is included in revenue and other support in the statements of activities.

P L E D G E S A N D C O N T R I B U T I O N S

R E C E I V A B L E

Pledges and contributions receivable consist of irrevocable and measurable bequest proceeds due to the Foundation and donor promises to give in future periods, usually over a period of one to ten years. Pledges due in more than one year are recorded at the present value of estimated cash flows, and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, have been discounted by rates ranging from 1.1% to 2.6% and 0.6% to 2.6%, respectively. An allowance for uncollectible pledges and contributions receivable is provided based upon management’s judgment of potential defaults.

A C C O U N T S R E C E I V A B L E

Accounts receivable consist of start-up funds and current year event proceeds due from FONRA committees. Start-up funds are advanced to each new FONRA committee and are returned to the Foundation only upon dissolution of the committee.

Inventory consists primarily of artwork, shooting sports, and hunting supplies to be utilized at FONRA fundraising events. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. Adjustments are made to reduce the inventory to net realizable value in the case of obsolescence.

P R O P E R T Y A N D E Q U I P M E N T

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not prolong the useful lives of the assets, are expensed. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Building improvements are depreciated over useful lives of 20 years, other property and equipment is depreciated over two to 10 years. The Foundation capitalizes complete desktop and laptop computers greater than $500 and all other fixed assets greater than $1,500.

M U S E U M C O L L E C T I O N S

The Foundation has capitalized its museum collections, consisting principally of donated firearms, since its inception. If purchased, items accessioned into the collection are capitalized at cost, and if donated they are capitalized at their appraised value or fair value on the accession date. Gains or losses on the deaccession of collection items are classified in the statements of activities as unrestricted, temporarily or permanently restricted support depending on donor restriction, if any, placed on the item at the time of accession. Provisions are made to reduce museum collections to net realizable value. Museum collections are not depreciated as the Foundation takes appropriate measures to perpetually preserve their cultural and historic value.

S P L I T I N T E R E S T A G R E E M E N T S

The Foundation is the beneficiary under several split interest agreements in the form of charitable lead trust and charitable remainder unitrust agreements. Under terms of the agreements, the Foundation has the irrevocable right to receive the annual payments during the life of the trust and/or remaining trust assets upon termination of the trust. Split interest agreements are recorded as an asset based on the actuarially computed value as of the end of each year. The difference between the amount received for the agreement and its actuarially computed value is recorded as revenue. Split interest agreements due in more than one year have been recorded at the present value of estimated cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the discount rate applied ranged from 2.5% to 8.0% and incorporated future life expectancies of 0 and 22.

A N N U I T I E S P A Y A B L E

Donors have established and funded gift annuity contracts. Under terms of the contracts, the Foundation has the irrevocable right to receive the remaining contract assets upon termination of the contract. Annuity contracts are recorded as a liability based on the actuarially computed value at the time of gift. The difference between the amount received for the contract and its actuarially computed value is recorded as revenue. For both the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the discount rate applied ranged from 1.2% to 3.4%.

R E V E N U E R E C O G N I T I O N

Contributions, whether unrestricted or restricted, are recognized as revenue upon notification of the unconditional gift or pledge and classified in the appropriate net asset category. Proceeds from FONRA fundraising events, net of direct benefit expenses paid by the FONRA event committees, are recorded in the period in which the event occurs. One half of the net proceeds from FONRA events are restricted for use by the FONRA State Fund committee in which the event was held. These proceeds may be temporarily or permanently restricted. Temporarily restricted proceeds become unrestricted when qualifying expenses have been incurred.

O U T S T A N D I N G L E G A C I E S

The Foundation is the beneficiary under various wills and trust agreements, the total realizable amounts of which are not presently determinable. The Foundation’s share of such amounts is not recorded until the Foundation has an irrevocable right to the bequest and the proceeds are measurable.

V A L U A T I O N O F L O N G - L I V E D

A S S E T S

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reportable at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

The costs of providing program services and supporting activities have been accounted for on a functional basis in the statements of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among program services, administrative, and fundraising expenses.

G R A N T P R O G R A M E X P E N S E

Grants are recorded as program expense in the year in which the Foundation’s Board of Trustees approves the expenditure. The Foundation supports a wide range of firearms and safety-related public interest activities, including youth education, range development and improvements, wildlife and natural resource conservation, school security and firearm training, education and safety programs.

T A X S T A T U S

The Foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state income taxes. In addition, the Foundation is not classified as a private foundation.

The Foundation follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Foundation may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods.

Management evaluated the Foundation’s tax positions and concluded that the Foundation had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. Generally, the Foundation is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2012, which is the standard statute of limitations look-back period.

S U B S E Q U E N T E V E N T S

The Foundation evaluated subsequent events through March 8, 2016, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $114,052 and $116,265, respectively.

5. Credit AgreementThe Foundation maintains a $2,000,000 collateralized line of credit agreement with a bank, which expires September 30, 2016. The agreement was secured by cash and securities totaling $7,906,452 and $4,033,360 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Under the terms of this agreement, for any borrowings, the Foundation would make monthly interest payments on the daily outstanding principal at a variable rate based on the 30-day LIBOR rate, plus 0.70%. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, no amounts were outstanding under the line of credit agreement.

6. Fair Value MeasurementsThe Foundation follows the Codification Topic, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets out a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. The type of investments included in Level 1 include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by the Codification, the Foundation does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Foundation holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments which are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives. A significant adjustment to a Level 2 input could result in the Level 2 measurement becoming a Level 3 measurement.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information in the circumstances and may require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments that are included in this category generally include equity and debt positions in private companies and general and limited Foundation interests in private investment funds, real estate funds, debt funds and distressed debt.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Foundation’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

In determining the appropriate levels, the Foundation performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to fair value measurements. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.

The estimated fair values of the Foundation’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, and payables arising in the ordinary course of operations, approximate their individual carrying amounts due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization.

Money market funds, equity and fixed income securities are classified as Level 1 instruments, as they are actively traded on public exchanges.

Split interest agreements are classified as Level 3 instruments, as there is no market for the Foundation’s interest in the trusts. Further, the Foundation’s asset is the right to receive cash flows from the trusts, not the assets of the trusts themselves. Although the trust assets may be investments for which quoted prices in an active market are available, the Foundation does not control those investments.

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), Fair Value Measurement requires reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, except for derivative assets and liabilities, which may be presented net. The table below represents the reconciliation of the Foundation’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:

The Foundation follows the Codification subtopic Reporting endowment funds. The Codification addresses accounting issues related to guidelines in the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006 (UPMIFA), which was adopted by the National Conferences of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in July 2006 and enacted in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 1, 2008 and in the District of Columbia on January 23, 2008. The Foundation includes all permanently restricted funds and temporarily restricted quasi-endowment funds in its endowments. The Management of the Foundation has interpreted UPMIFA as requiring the preservation of the fair value of original donor-restricted endowment gifts as of the date of the gift absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the Foundation classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of cash gifts donated to permanent endowment, (b) the discounted value of future gifts promised to permanent endowment, net of allowance for uncollectible pledges, and (c) the fair value of non-cash gifts received whereby the proceeds of any future sale are donor-restricted to permanent endowment. The remaining portion of donor-restricted endowment funds not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the Foundation in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA. In accordance with UPMIFA, the Foundation considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds:

n The duration and preservation of the fund

n The purposes of the Foundation and donor-restricted endowment fund

n General economic conditions

n The possible effect of inflation and deflation

n The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments

n Other resources of the Foundation

n The investment policies of the Foundation

The Foundation has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to the programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain purchasing power of the endowment assets. The investment policy of the Foundation is to achieve, at a minimum, a real (inflation adjusted) total net return that exceeds spending policy requirements. Investments are diversified both by asset class and within asset classes. The purpose of diversification is to minimize unsystematic risk and to provide reasonable assurance that no single security or class of securities will have a disproportionate impact on the total portfolio. The amount appropriated for expenditure ranges from 1% to

5% of the endowment fund’s fair value as of the end of the preceding year, as long as the value of the endowment does not drop below the original contribution(s). All earnings of the endowment are reflected as temporarily restricted net assets until appropriated for expenditure in the form of program grants.

The Foundation’s endowments are composed solely of donor restricted funds. The changes in endowment net assets for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds may fall below the level that the donor or UPMIFA requires the Foundation to retain as a fund of perpetual duration. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, deficiencies of this nature that are reported in unrestricted net assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, were $1,912 and $1,848, respectively. The deficiencies in the donor-restricted endowment funds at December 31, 2015 and 2014, resulted from unfavorable market fluctuations and the continued appropriation of endowment assets, which was deemed prudent by the Foundation.

These expenses totaled $5,837,114 and $5,959,570 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, $908,726 and $1,630,990, respectively, was owed to the NRA and included in due to affiliates for reimbursements and pass through funds still held by the Foundation.
