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 New Mexico Grants aim to support projects that align with The NRA Foundation's mission. These grants seek to advance firearms safety, the shooting sports, and hunting safety, educate the public, particularly youth, on firearms and related topics, encourage research on firearms safety and marksmanship, and support the National Rifle Association of America's activities that further charitable, educational, or scientific objectives. Grant eligibility and the funding amounts are determined by the Foundation, requiring adherence to IRS rules and regulations under section 501(c)(3).
