Overview

Mission

To operate as a social welfare organization, providing public education on U.S. constitutional rights, with a focus on legal rights granted to U.S. citizens under the 2nd Amendment

What it reported doing in 2024

2ARaffles completed sweepstakes for prizes related to 2nd Amendment advocacy. Payment was not required to enter the sweepstakes. Participants could make a voluntary contribution to the organization but the participants' chance to win remained the same whether or not a contribution was included. All prizes for the sweepstakes were related to the mission and purpose of the organization (firearms, firearm safety products, firearm accessories, etc.) and each sweepstakes was carried out to educate the public on 2nd Amendment rights. Participants contact information was collected for the organization to engage through education and advocacy efforts related to 2nd Amendment rights. Contributions were used to educate the general public on 2nd Amendment rights, including grants made to non-profit organizations that share 2ARaffles mission to support constitutional rights with a focus on legal rights granted under the 2nd Amendment.
