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 Wyoming Grants program provides funding to projects that align with the foundation's goals, specifically in promoting firearms safety, education regarding firearms and shooting sports, research in firearms safety and marksmanship, and supporting the National Rifle Association of America's activities that have a charitable, educational, or scientific purpose. Grant eligibility and the amount of funding are determined by the foundation, requiring that all requests support and further the foundation's mission.
