Foundation Provides Over $14 Million in Cash Grants to Recipients in 2025 from MidwayUSA
In 2025, the MidwayUSA Foundation distributed over $14.2 million in cash grants to support youth shooting sports teams across the nation. This record-breaking figure includes multiple programs offered by the Foundation, with a total of 1,487 teams receiving a cash grant.
The MidwayUSA Foundation, a non-profit organisation, supports youth shooting teams with expenses such as ammo, targets, entry fees, safety equipment, and travel. Donations made to the Foundation are tax-deductible and no funds are used for operational costs.
The Foundation's endowment model, funded by donations, will continue to support America's youth shooting teams indefinitely. Larry and Brenda Potterfield, the founders of Midway USA, provide matching donations to the Foundation, ensuring that every dollar goes further in supporting these teams.
Murray State University's Rifle Program was among the recipients in 2025, receiving both an annual team cash grant and a range development grant. The grants provided much-needed financial support to cover the team's expenses.
In 2025, youth shooting teams received a total of $7.7 million in cash grants. The average payout to each team was $5,225.70. This support has a significant impact on the teams, enabling them to participate in competitions and invest in necessary equipment.
The top five states receiving grant funding in 2025 were Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, Iowa, and Wisconsin. However, grants were distributed across the nation, reaching communities large and small.
Midway USA Executive Director Pete Eisentrager stated that the latest cash grant payout demonstrates real dollars being distributed in communities across the nation to support thousands of youth shooting teams. He encouraged teams and organisations to apply for the next grant cycle, which opens on October 15, 2025.
Details for the next grant cycle can be found on the MidwayUSA Foundation's website. Donors can choose the endowment of their choice, knowing that all donations will go directly to supporting youth shooting teams.
The MidwayUSA Foundation's total cash grant impact since 2008 has exceeded $80 million. This significant investment in America's youth shooting sports is a testament to the Foundation's commitment to supporting the next generation of athletes and sports enthusiasts.
