Background

For more than two decades, The NRA Foundation has served the needs of freedom-loving Americans across this great nation. They continue to teach freedom through programs that instill knowledge about our nation’s great history. They build partnerships with leaders in our communities and provide grants that are instrumental in funding programs that support our shared vision.

Since their establishment in 1990, they’ve awarded nearly $369 million in grant funding in support of the shooting sports. These grants provide essential funding that benefits programs such as youth education, law enforcement training, hunter education, conservation, firearms and marksmanship training and safety, and much more.
