SAF ANNOUNCES STAFF PROMOTIONS TO KICKSTART 2026

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Jan. 9, 2026 — Continuing to fulfill its mission to defend, secure and restore the right to keep and bear arms for all Americans, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has created two new positions and promoted current staff members to fill those roles.

Dana Wilson has been promoted to the role of Director of Development, and Tanner Lineberry will serve as the organization’s new Associate Director of Marketing.

“We’re always looking at ways to ensure we meet the organization’s strategic goals and objectives, and during a review of current needs it became apparent these new roles were pivotal for SAF’s future growth and ability to impact the right to keep and bears arms,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “Given Dana’s and Tanner’s experience and backgrounds we felt they would be a perfect fit for the new positions. We look forward to watching their continued success and are excited about the further advancement of SAF’s Development and Marketing programs.”

The Development and Marketing departments both play key roles in securing funding for the organization’s cornerstone strategic litigation program, as well as educating the public about SAF’s critical work and the importance of the Second Amendment to promote a society that values and exercises the right to keep and bear arms.

To help move those objectives forward, Wilson will be tasked with implementing strategies to find new donors, work with current benefactors and develop unique ways to engage with future supporters.
