Overview

Mission

Second Amendment Education and Advocacy

What it reported doing in 2024

We maintained steady membership during the pandemic and increased our social media presence. We also continued membership rewards through donations with branded items to increase the clubs presence in the "real" world including Legilastive summaries.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and assets have declined or grown slowly.
