This year, MidwayUSA Foundation has distributed more than $7.7 million in cash grants to 1,487 youth shooting teams. The annual cash grants provide funds that are critical to the operation of high school and college shooting teams. The funds assist in purchasing ammo, targets, entry fees, safety equipment and travel expenses. The payout per team averaged $5,225.70, and the top states receiving funding include Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Thanks to MidwayUSA Foundation’s endowment model, this funding will be offered in perpetuity.
Newly appointed Executive Director for MidwayUSA Foundation, Pete Eisentrager, talked about cash grants. “This latest cash grant payout brings the Foundation’s total grant payout to over $80 million since inception. Our various fundraising resources allow teams to continue growing their endowment, which in turn grows that annual cash grant.” Community members can donate directly to the youth shooting team of their choice, which MidwayUSA Foundation will match, thanks to Larry and Brenda Potterfield. Donations are tax-deductible and 100% of the donation goes to the endowment of the donor’s choice; nothing is removed for operations.
