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 Arizona Grants program focuses on funding projects that align with the Foundation's broad goals of enhancing public safety, education, and knowledge around firearms and hunting. Specifically, the grant supports initiatives aimed at advancing firearms and hunting safety, educating the American youth and the general public about firearms, their history, and the importance of marksmanship, as well as fostering a deeper understanding of hunting safety. The program also backs research aimed at improving firearms safety and marksmanship facilities and techniques. Additionally, it supports National Rifle Association of America's activities, provided these activities have charitable, educational, or scientific motives in line with section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, including those that promote national or international sports competition. Eligibility and the amount of funding are determined by the Foundation based on the alignment with these objectives.
