Since its founding in 1990, The NRA Foundation has awarded more than $509 million through over 65,000 grants, supporting vital programs in firearms education, range development and shooting sports across the United States. This year alone, the organization’s grant highlights include support for the more than 140 local councils of the Boy Scouts of America, 4-H Youth Development Programs (with more than 600 clubs), JROTC in over 200 schools and Future Farmers of America educational programs. Grants were also awarded to more than 100 Scholastic Clay Target Program teams, 58 school-based National Archery in the Schools Programs and over 100 hunting and conservation outreach efforts.

In the past 12 months, funds raised by the NRA Foundation been used by local programs to purchase gear critical to passing on the sport. Included on that equipment list is: more than 1,100 firearms, 5.9 million rounds of rimfire ammo and 6.3 million shotshells, nearly 1,400 airguns, 939 bows and roughly 23,000 arrows, 70,000 paper targets, 71 firearm storage safes, 237 trauma kits, 10,000 safety glasses, 1,000 earmuffs and more.

The grants provide critical funding and equipment to organizations that strengthen communities, promote safe firearm use and cultivate the next generation of sportsmen and women. Each year, The NRA Foundation distributes 50 percent of all net proceeds from local Friends of NRA fundraising events back into the state where the funds were raised. These allocations are determined by State Fund Committees, comprised of dedicated volunteers who review grant applications and recommend funding priorities based on community needs. The remaining funds support national programs, including Youth and Women’s Programs, Education & Training, Competitive Shooting, Law Enforcement Training, Range Services and the National Firearms Museum.

“In 2024 alone, The NRA Foundation awarded $8.6 million in State Fund Grants to qualified nonprofit organizations,” said Ruthann Sprague, assistant director of Grant Outreach & Strategy. “Often, a grant from The NRA Foundation is the difference between a youth team continuing to train and compete—or being cut entirely.”
