The NRA Foundation's mission is focused on providing financial support to enhance the shooting sports, including education, safety, and marksmanship. Through fundraising and donations, the Foundation awards grants for educational and public service programs in communities across the United States.
The grant program by The NRA Foundation is designed to provide funding for projects and initiatives that align with the Foundation’s core objectives. These include promoting firearm and hunting safety, education on firearms and their historical significance, and advancing shooting sports. Grants are aimed at fostering safe marksmanship, supporting research for enhanced firearms safety, and backing activities that comply with the charitable purposes outlined in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible parties must propose projects that further these aims and meet the Foundation's requirements to be considered for funding.
