NEWTOWN, Conn. -- The National Shooting Sports Foundation
(NSSF) has announced a new program designed to help local public and private
ranges increase participation in the shooting sports.
The Range
Partnership Grant Program is making available a total of $250,000 per year for
projects that specifically address one or more of the following objectives:
recruitment of new shooters, reactivation of lapsed shooters and increased
opportunities for active shooters to try another discipline. The NSSF is
especially interested in new, creative approaches to these challenges.
"This program was inspired by the success of our Hunting Heritage
Partnership grant program, which funds recruitment and retention efforts
conducted by state wildlife agencies," commented NSSF Senior Vice President
Chris Dolnack. "We are confident that this concept will also work for shooting
ranges."
Eligible organizations are limited to public or private ranges
and clubs, or educational institutions with hunting or shooting sports
curriculums and faculty. Grant guidelines and applications are available at
www.rangeinfo.org/grants.
