MidwayUSA Foundation Forever Endowment

The MidwayUSA Foundation was established to fund youth shooting teams and ensure those funds allow youth shooting sports teams to be around forever. The functions of the Foundation are critical for supporting each of the organizations that hold an earmarked endowment with us. For that reason, we too have an endowment to ensure our future…the MidwayUSA Foundation Forever Endowment. Since our establishment, Larry and Brenda Potterfield have donated every dollar for our operations. Their contributions cover our software, computers, staff salaries, supplies, desks, office space, fundraising products, grant and donation processing, and more. There is no question of their commitment to youth shooting sports, but like any visionary organization, we need to have a plan for the future. Our Board of Directors, our Chief Investment Officer, Goldman Sachs, and Foundation staff have put a plan in place to help us fund our Foundation Forever Endowment so our Foundation is financially supported into perpetuity, just like our teams.

DONATE NOW

To fund the Foundation Forever Endowment, we’ll use a combination of three funding sources.

  • Annual Potterfield Family Donations

  • Investments Growth

  • annual 1% Contribution from all Endowments [.25% quarterly]

Grants

Like your team, starting in 2023, our Board will request a 5% cash grant each year to cover our Foundation operation expenses. This grant is meant to cover our operations and does not include matching, incentives, and fundraising products. By growing the MidwayUSA Foundation Forever Endowment, we are taking one more step in ensuring your youth shooting sports team is funded FOREVER.
