NRA director Jonathan Goldstein took the finance committee chair after his 2025 election on a reform ticket. Last year's budget ended in the black, and 2026 revenue is expected near 135 million dollars with a small surplus.

When he arrived, leftover legal costs and overdue reductions created uncertainty. The board now aligns spending with training, youth programs, competitions and law enforcement rather than ads, and it is pursuing recovery of earlier legal outlays plus foundation funds collected in the NRA's name.

Goldstein asked lapsed members to return, pointing to the association's size and recent Second Amendment litigation.
