We paid over $6.8 Million to Benefit Youth Shooting Sports
Youth Shooting Team Grants
We are proud to announce the successful conclusion of yet another grant cycle, benefiting 952 youth shooting teams across the country! This grant cycle, we distributed an incredible $5,047,965, with each team averaging a generous $5,302 to help cover expenses like ammunition, targets, entry fees, travel, and gear. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without our dedicated sponsors, donors, and the wonderful outdoor community. Every contribution ensures that more young athletes can participate in shooting sports, fostering their growth and commitment to the outdoor industry. Thank you for believing in our youth and investing in their bright futures – together, we’re making a meaningful difference!“We depend on the grant to help in many ways. This grant helps pay for the entry fees for all shoots, targets for practices and shoots and the cost required for coaches to take courses to remain certified.” Solon Spartan Trapshooting (IA) R46898 | $4,143 grant
Youth Shooting Organization Grants
Just like teams, agency and donor-designated endowments apply for their grants during the spring and fall cycles. These organizations have a mission or a program, that is youth shooting sports focused. They are key partners in growing the sport throughout the country, by hosting events, offering resources to teams, training coaches, and so much more! Over $1,717,860 was paid to benefit 39 organizations.

“The grants we receive from the MidwayUSA Foundation play a crucial role in the success of Missouri 4-H shooting sports. They help us provide essential funding for equipment, volunteer training, and state and national contests and events. Through 4-H shooting sports, youth gain confidence, leadership, and responsibility, while developing a lifelong appreciation for hunting, shooting, and the outdoors.” – Rachel Augustine, Missouri 4-H Foundation.
The next grant cycle will open on April 15, and the deadline for applications will be June 15.
