NRA’s $35 Million Loss: Membership Dues Plummet Amidst Criticism
The NRA’s 2023 revenue plummeted to $178 million, a dramatic decrease from its peak fundraising years in the mid-2010s when it exceeded $400 million annually. This represents a historic low, with overall income less than member dues alone in four of the past ten years. The decline is largely attributed to a five-year drop in member dues, reaching levels unseen since at least the early 2000s. The 2023 member dues of $61.8 million are a stark contrast to the nearly $223 million collected a decade prior. Financial documents indicate further revenue decreases are projected for 2024.
