Editor’s UPDATE: YETI Coolers has issued an official statement saying the report below is wrong and they continue to support the NRA Foundation and NRA members.
U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- For years YETI Coolers have been a hot item for sportsmen at the Friends of NRA Foundation Banquet and Auction events around the country.
These Foundation events raise money to support youth programs and educational programs nationwide. The youth of America who benefit from these programs are the future hunters, hikers, fishermen/women, bikers, campers, wildlife photographers, mountain climbers, sportsmen/women and conservationists who will protect our natural resources and recreational lands.
Suddenly, without prior notice, YETI has declined to do business with The NRA Foundation saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, and refused to say why. They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation. That certainly isn’t sportsmanlike.
YETI should be ashamed.
They have declined to continue helping America’s young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities. These activities enable them to appreciate America and enjoy our natural resources with wholesome and healthy outdoor recreational and educational programs.
The NRA Foundation is 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization.
In this day and age, information is power. We thought you needed this information.

THIS IS VERY EASY. EVERYONE WITH A YETI NEEDS TO SEND IT BACK AND ASK FOR A FULL REFUND UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY. THE POCKETBOOK WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION.
Just buy the Ozark Trails (I think it is) from Walmart. They are nearly the same thing and work just as well without the Million dollar price tag. My family has 4 of them. Coffee stays hot for hours and I had ice still frozen after 24 hours. They cost about 8 bucks. REMEMBER, it’s the Ozark Trails one’s, not the others that Walmart sells!!!!
Just added YETI to my “no longer exists” list… Coolers, cups etc, used by HUNTERS, that are more than likely NRA members, Yeti just bit the hand that fed them. YETI wants to be more like Dicks, Starbucks, Target, etc…. Anti 2nd, anti gun, anti legal citizen, anti NRA… And NOW Starbucks had two black men arrested for waiting to meet their coworker.
Shut’em down Danno, we do NOT need them.
From Yeti: “We’re writing in response to your recent email inquiry. A few weeks ago, YETI notified the NRA Foundation, as well as a number of other organizations, that we were eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs. When we notified the NRA Foundation and the other organizations of this change, YETI explained that we were offering them an alternative customization program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation. These facts directly contradict the inaccurate statement the NRA-ILA distributed on April 20. Further, the NRA-ILA stated in that same public communication that “[YETI has] declined to continue… Read more »
Today, I drilled a hole in the bottom of my wifes Yeti cup and it is dangling from the bumper of my truck. Bought her a Purple Candy RTIC to replace it. I Also wrote the CEO of Academy an email. Mr Symancyk at [email protected] thanking him for supporting the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment and encouraged him to stop selling Yeti products. They don’t sell RTIC so I had to order it from Amazon. Also Closed my Bank of America Accounts. When I told the lady why, see said “That’s OK, we really don’t want NRA members as our… Read more »
Here is the message I just sent to the CEO of Yeti: Dear Sir: In light of your narrow minded decision to sever ties with the NRA, I write to inform you that a pending purchase order for 5 coolers planned to be used by our camping club will be cancelled. We will order from Rtic instead. The decision is yours to make as is my decision as to how we spend our money. Sadly your virtue signaling is appalling in light of the tremendous amount of good work the NRA has done over its many years in existence. Hunter… Read more »

Glad I did not buy a new cooler from these losers ! Will be using the tumblers for target practice, nice!
According to Yeti’s facebook, they informed several organizations, including the NRA, that they were eliminating several outdated discount programs. They then offered alternatives to the ones being canceled and the NRA, instead of picking an alternate program released the statement that Yeti had “pulled their support”. So what is the truth? I’m a lifetime member of the NRA, and wouldn’t spend the kind of money Yeti asks even if I had it. So I don’t have much of dog in this hunt. Just want the truth.
Yeti is just another Starbucks and Under Armor overpriced merchandiser who rips people off on products you can get far cheaper elsewhere, and which will do just as well. Then, once they have your money, they will stab you in the back and make donations to the Democrats. You’re better off shopping elsewhere.
