Explanation
Part II
The NRA is a 501c4 membership association with four 501c3 public charities and a Section 527 political action committee PAC which is a separate segregated fund. The four charities affiliated with the NRA are NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund, NRA Foundation Inc, NRA Freedom Action Foundation, and NRA Special Contribution Fund DBA NRA Whittington Center. The PAC is the NRA Political Victory Fund NRAPVF is a separate unincorporated PAC of the NRA. In the event that any funds are received by the NRA and earmarked to the PAC, the NRA has systems in place to ensure any such receipts are promptly and immediately deposited into the separate segregated funds accounts. The NRA did not take possession of any earmarked PAC contributions from its members all contributions to the PAC were directly received by the PAC from contributors. Therefore, there were no reportable transactions between the NRA and the PAC for the purpose of any Schedule R, Part V, line 2 disclosures.
Part V Line 1c
