Columbia, MO – The MidwayUSA Foundation has wrapped up another successful grant cycle and 475 youth shooting teams will be receiving funds to use for team expenses. The total payout was over $1.4 million, the largest grant cycle to date for the Foundation.
Dick Leeper, MidwayUSA Foundation Executive Director said, “These grant funds will help over 15,000 athletes continue their passion for shooting sports. Many teams rely on these funds to help pay for ammunition, targets, entry fees, travel to shoots and more. It is our hope to see more teams apply and receive grants in the future.”
Grants are provided through the Team Endowment Account Program, offered by the MidwayUSA Foundation. Teams with a balance in their Team Endowment Account are eligible to apply for a grant once per year by completing the MidwayUSA Foundation grant application. Grant deadlines are June 15 and December 15 and teams can receive up to 5% of their account balance.
The MidwayUSA Foundation is a public charity, founded by Larry and Brenda Potterfield, working to sustain the shooting sports industry by providing permanent funding to youth shooting teams. They can grow their Team Endowment Account through soliciting private donations, which are currently matched 1:1, earnings, and conducting fundraisers.
