Filing Summary

The Combined Federal Campaign (“CFC”), the workplace giving program for federal government employees.  Given the reports of potential self-dealing and corruption at the NRA, the Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund wrote the following to the Office of Personal Management (“OPM”), who oversees the program:  

“We strongly believe that a review and investigation by OPM will confirm that the NRA Foundation does not live up to the CFC standards of integrity, accountability, and transparency, and accordingly should be expelled from participating in the CFC program.  More specifically, the facts described above and further detailed below raise a number of deeply concerning questions, including: (1) whether the NRA Foundation has falsely certified to the CFC that its governing body has “no material conflicts of interest,” (2) whether the NRA Foundation has falsely certified to the CFC that its  “contributions are effectively used for the announced purposes of the charitable organization,” and (3) whether the NRA Foundation is in violation of the core requirement for participation in the CFC –  i.e., that it have “a high degree of integrity and responsibility in the conduct of [its] affairs.”
