 Re: All new Posts/Questions Looking at the NRA Foundation's 990 on Guidestar, it looks like the NRA foundation is a 501(c)(3) and the NRA is a 501(c)(4). Donations to the NRA Foundation are therefore tax deductible as charitable contributions, but donations to the NRA are not. Membership dues paid to the NRA would not be eligible for the charitable deduction. This same structure is used for all sorts of lobbying organizations. --Chris Ballard << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |

There are many cases where a lobbying organization (not> Wouldn't you doubt it because the NRA is a lobbying > organization? 501(c)(3) by statute) has a related educational organization (which can be 501(c)(3)). I don't know about the NRA specifically.
