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 funding from The NRA Foundation is designed to support organizations and projects that align with the Foundation's mission to enhance firearms safety, education, and research in marksmanship and hunting. This includes programs aimed at educating the youth and the general public about firearms safety, history, and the importance of marksmanship and hunting. The grant seeks to foster a deeper understanding of firearms and their role in American culture and ensures activities supported are in line with 501(c)(3) charitable purposes. Eligibility and funding amounts are determined by the Foundation, ensuring that all projects funded further the goals of promoting safety, education, and research related to firearms and shooting sports.
