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 North Carolina – West NCW Grants, funded by The NRA Foundation, are intended to support projects that fulfill the organization's mission to further charitable purposes as defined under section 501(c)(3). These include promoting firearm and hunting safety, educating on firearms and marksmanship, researching firearms safety and marksmanship facilities and techniques, and supporting the NRA's activities that are aligned with charitable, educational, or sport competition causes. Eligibility and funding amounts are determined by the Foundation, and all grant requests must align with these objectives.
