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ago, YETI notified the NRA Foundation, as well as a number of other organizations, that we were eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs.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 »
