The NRA was founded in 1871 by William Conant Church and George Wood Wingate. It is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization that, according to a self-report, boasts more than 5 million members. It relies on donations, magazine subscriptions and, according to the Associated Press, has reported total assets of about $203 million.
