A worthy non-profit organization (http://www.bradycenter.org/donate/cfc.asp)
On the Brady Bunch's site, it shows how to mark your CFC and United Way pledge cards so the donation will go to them. They're a good organization which is dedicated to making the streets safer, right? Well so is the NRA! Is there a number on the pledge card for them? Btw is the NRA non-profit?

The NRA is not non-profit. (good double negatives there).

Your contribution is not tax deductible.

Some parts of the NRA are non-profit, and therefore donations to those can be tax deductible.

You can donate to the Gun Owners Foundation (associated with GOA). The instructions are here:

The FNRA is non-profit. It gives the money back to the community. 50% local, 50% national.

You can donate to the NRA-ILA.

What they don't tell you about the United Way is that when you earmark your money for a particular organization, other money is then freed up to go to the various anti-gun groups under the U.W. umbrella.

If I want money to go to any Good Guy organization, I'll send it directly to that group.

My employer allows us to make pre-tax charitable contributions directly from our cheks, up until now mine has gone to United Way but if they are cooperating with HCI they can forget it.

Washington Friends of the N.R.A. has granted our local sportsmen's club 6,000 dollars over the last 3 years. We are in the pipeline to recieve another 2 grand next year. Here are just a few items that the money has afforded our instructor's group (there are 13 of us):

2 Remington 700s - one adult sized, one youth - in .243 for our Home Firearms Safety, Basic Rifle, and WA Hunter Ed. classes, and our summer Kids Kamp.

2 Winchester 12 ga. 1300s for H.F.S., Basic Shotgun, and WA H.E., and our summer Kids Kamp.

2 Mossberg 20 ga. "Bantams" (youth sized M500s) for H.F.S., Basic Shotgun, and WA H.E., and our summer Kids Kamp.

12 sets of electronic hearing protection ear muffs, so no instructions are garbled, or misheard. Our Range Safety Officers, instructors, and students, find them to be invaluable.

4 Shooting mats for prone shooting.

8 Full archery sets of varying sizes to supplement our firearms instruction by allowing novices to develop shooting skills with non-intimidating devices, and our summer Kids Kamp.

Shooting timers, a Beamhit for dry fire practice, dummy ammo, and a couple dozen other items that make our lives as instructors very simple. Our students are comfortable, and the have the luxury of using firearms that fit them well. It makes a huge difference.

And we are about to buy four 600 dollar target rifles (.22 cal.) for our youth rifle team.

I.M.N.S.H.O., F.O.N.R.A. is a very worthwhile organization to support.
