August is National Shooting Sports Month and MidwayUSA Foundation is proud to celebrate the month with continued opportunities to support youth shooting programs. As the leading advocate for youth shooting sports, MidwayUSA Foundation has over $400 million endowed to ensure generation after generation has the funding to participate. The endowment model guarantees the money is available in perpetuity.
Nearly 2,800 youth shooting teams rely on MidwayUSA Foundation funding to conduct practices, travel to competitions, pay for ammo, and cover other critical expenses that youth shooting teams incur. In addition to youth shooting teams, the Foundation assists over 80 organizations at the state, regional, and national levels. Organizations including the Scholastic Clay Target Program, Scholastic Action Shooting Program, USA Shooting, ACUI Clay Targets, and more rely on annual funding from MidwayUSA Foundation. The non-profit public charity has provided $725 million in grants to support youth shooting sports. In 2024, alone, the Foundation has paid just under $8 million in cash grants and is set to provide another $3.3 million in the coming weeks.
