Mission
WE'RE FREEING AMERICA FROM GUN VIOLENCE.IN A COUNTRY WHERE FIREARMS OUTNUMBER PEOPLE, OUR COUNTRY'S GUN VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC REQUIRES A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH AND THAT'S WHAT BRADY, THE LEADING GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION ORGANIZATION IN AMERICA, DELIVERS. INSPIRED BY THE ROADMAP BEHIND SUCCESSFUL MOVEMENTS TO CURB YOUTH SMOKING, PROMOTE SEATBELT USE, AND PREVENT DRUNK DRIVING, WE TACKLE THREE CRITICAL AREAS: CHANGE THE LAWS, CHANGE THE INDUSTRY, AND CHANGE THE CULTURE. THIS COMBINATION IS UNIQUE IN THE GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION MOVEMENT AND IS ESSENTIAL TO TACKLING THIS EPIDEMIC. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF AMERICANS INCLUDING DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENTS, AND GUN OWNERS SUPPORT STRONGER GUN LAWS AND RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP. OUR GOAL IS TO BUILD A SENSIBLE POLICY FOUNDATION THAT KEEPS AMERICANS SAFE WITHOUT INFRINGING ON THEIR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS. WE BUILD UPON THE BIPARTISAN LEGACY OF OUR NAMESAKES, JIM AND SARAH BRADY, WHO WON THE LANDMARK BRADY BILL.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

California fundraising campaigns
Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.
Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Not present in the most recent drop.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
