Well, you're carrying Wayne's salary on your backs at least.
And this one again. I sure wish he was working for free, but would you?
NRA Exec salary - 633,823
Red Cross exec salary - 651,957
Boy Scouts of America - 1,577,600
University of Delaware - 2,377,100
Wildlife Conservation Society - 628,642
Masonic Homes of California - 1,224,987
These are salary numbers, not including other benefits. Those don't tend to compare well because they vary so much.
Annual revenue for the NRA in 2004 was $205,000,000.
Charity Navigator, a group that watches and rates all kinds of non profits, has a rating system for charities/non profits based on revenue in vs how much is actually used for the stated purpose, etc.
The 4 star rating is the highest. NRA has been on the 4 star list for the last 6 years at least.
So, the financials of the NRA is another one of those things that people use as an excuse not to join or participate, but again it's BS compared to every other charity. They are right in line with every thing else.
For the sixth consecutive year, The NRA Foundation has received a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, America's largest independent evaluator of charities. Rated for efficiency and effectiveness, four stars is Charity Navigator's highest rating. In the past 16 years, the foundation has funded more than 15,000 grants totaling more than $100 million dollars, becoming America’s leading charitable organization in support of competitive shooting, range development, education and training, and the second amendment.
Charity Navigator's Vince Bogucki said in a letter to the foundation, "Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that your organization excels, as compared to other charities in America, in successfully managing your finances in an efficient and effective manner." He added, "This consistency in your rating is an exceptional feat, especially given the economic challenges many charities have had to face in the last year.
