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 provided by The NRA Foundation is designed to support projects that align with its mission to promote firearms safety, education, and the shooting sports. Eligible initiatives must further a charitable purpose as defined by IRS guidelines. The grant program supports a range of activities including, but not limited to, promoting shooting sports and hunting safety, educating the public on firearms and their historical significance, improving firearms safety and marksmanship through research, and supporting the activities of the National Rifle Association that have a charitable, educational, or scientific purpose. Eligibility and funding amounts are at the discretion of The NRA Foundation.
