Overview
Mission
The Socialist Rifle Association's mission is to uphold the right of the working class to keep and bear arms and maintain the skills necessary for self and community defense.
What it reported doing in 2019
The Socialist Rifle Association is dedicated to building a left wing gun culture and teaching members of repressed and marginalized groups how to defend themselves. However, firearms and self defense are only a small part of our larger philosophy of Community Defense. It isn't enough to defend yourself or your community from violence and hate; we must also defend each other from the hardships of capitalist society, and from the destruction caused by natural disasters fueled and worsened by manmade climate change. Often, the most radical acts of political change we can engage in are displays of compassion and mutual aid.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
