I suppose it's worth asking, since I'm wondering about it.....
If ILA gets assigned a budget from NRA (Board) of (hypothetically) $1M for the fiscal year and direct donations to ILA exceed $1M.... is the allocated budget reduced accordingly?
It might feel better giving directly to ILA, but only with some assurance that monies otherwise budgeted from HQ don't get offset by direct donations to ILA.
Sorry for the confusing language... Not sure how to ask this more succinctly.
