NRA Foundation grants are awarded in accordance with Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations. Applicants begin with an easy five question eligibility quiz that will determine which type of grant will best suit their needs. Bona fide federal, state or local law enforcement agencies, accredited schools and qualified, nonprofit organizations including Boy Scout troops and 4-H groups benefit from NRA Foundation funding.
