I just got this message from Amazon regarding NRA donations from Smile.Amazon sales. Use Smile.Amazon.com instead of plain Amazon.com and make the NRA as your charity of choice and they donate a percentage of your purchase amounts the the NRA.

This is your quarterly AmazonSmile donation notification. Your charity, NRA Foundation, recently received a quarterly donation of $10,540.75 thanks to customers shopping at smile.amazon.com.

To date, AmazonSmile has donated a total of:

$146,804.89 to NRA Foundation

Whats the difference between NRA Foundation or any of the other NRA listings, like NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund?

Different NRA entities are tasked with different purposes. Based on those purposes, the entity may be a 501c3 (a "charitable organization" to which donations are deductible, but the entity is not allowed to do things like support a political candidate) or a 501c4 (donations are NOT deductible, but there are many fewer restrictions on what activities are allowed).

"NRA" is a 501c4
"NRA Foundation" is a 501c3 (donations are tax-deductible), because they focus on a purpose considered "charitable" under tax law.
