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 program by The NRA Foundation is designed to support projects, programs, and organizations that align with the Foundation's mission to promote firearms safety, shooting sports, and hunting safety. The grants focus on educating the community, especially the youth, on firearms, their history, safety practices in shooting sports and hunting, and improving marksmanship through research and better facilities. The program emphasizes the importance of safe, educated, and responsible handling and use of firearms and aims to foster a deeper understanding and respect for firearms and their role in sports and safety. Grant requests must align with and further the mission of The NRA Foundation, promoting a safer, well-educated community in relation to firearms and shooting sports.
