THE NFA'S MISSION

The National Fireworks Association “NFA” is a 501(c)(6) tax-exempt organization (ein 25-1729049) that was formed in 1995 by the late Cameron Starr, the “Father of the 500 Gram Firework”. The NFA provides a forum for manufacturers, distributors, exhibitors and the public that enjoys using fireworks for the exchange and dissemination of knowledge and the positive promotion of the fireworks industry in a fair and equitable manner. The NFA’s board of directors is working tirelessly to improve the business conditions of the fireworks industry of the United States of America and to preserve the tradition of buying, manufacturing, selling, using and watching fireworks on independence day and for other celebrations and holidays.
