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 NRA Foundation's Grant Program has several core objectives. It seeks to promote safety in firearms use, shooting sports, and hunting, aiming to advance awareness and encourage responsible behavior in these areas. Furthermore, it focuses on educating individuals about firearms, their historical significance, safe handling practices, shooting sports participation, hunting safety, and enhancing marksmanship skills. The program also supports research initiatives designed to improve firearms safety and the effectiveness of marksmanship facilities and techniques.
