Browning Forms Endowment For NRA Foundation Browning Company has created the John M. Browning Endowment to honor the name of the company's founder and to ensure a permanent funding source for shooting programs. The endowment is part of the NRA Foundation, which will fund the NRA Shooting Sports Camp. The revenue will come from a joint $25 donation from Browning and Davidson's GalleryofGuns.com for the sale of each of the two new special-edition Buck Mark pistols created for this cause.
