In just 17 years, the NRA Foundation has provided over $150 million dollars in educational
and
charitable grants around the
country, making it America's leading charitable organization in
support of the shooting sport.
2.
Just in Pennsylvania, the NRA
Foundation awarded 3000 grants amounting
to over 5 million
dollars to various organizations
that promote and enhance the shooting sport.
3. 100%
of the money raised at the Fay-West Friends

educational programs and the
shooting sport. An important fact is that 50% of the

this money raised in Pennsylvania,
80% is spent on youth and youth related projects.
