The NRA Foundation, America’s leading charitable organization in support of the shooting sports, is proud to be the sole Platinum Level Sponsor of USA Shooting—the national governing body for Olympic shooting sports in the United States.
Prior to the to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, The NRA Foundation provided critical resources to prepare Olympic and Paralympic athletes to compete in France. As USA Shooting’s highest-level sponsor, The NRA Foundation’s investment has significantly enhanced training opportunities, provided state-of-the-art equipment, as well as supporting developmental initiatives that are crucial for the success of American shooting athletes on the firing line.
In 2022, The NRA Foundation awarded $252,000 to USA Shooting specifically for shotgun ammunition to aid athletes on the National Team, National Development Team and the National Junior Team in their training efforts. Continuing this support, The NRA Foundation provided an additional $250,000 the following year to bolster the Olympic and Paralympic Programs' preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympics. This funding was earmarked for essential expenses including team travel, athlete training and support, ammunition and targets, event fees and uniforms. In early 2024, the NRA Foundation granted another $250,000 to further assist USA Shooting as it prepared for the Paris 2024 Games.
USA Shooting CEO’s, Kelly Reisdorf, expressed gratitude for The NRA Foundation's support, highlighting its crucial contribution as the team made ready for the Paris 2024 Games.
“In preparation for the Paris Olympics, The NRA Foundation’s support has been instrumental in facilitating overseas competition experiences for our athletes,” Reisdorf said. “These opportunities are invaluable, as they provide our team with essential exposure to international competition settings and diverse tactical challenges.”
The NRA Foundation and USA Shooting’s strong partnership underscores a shared commitment to advancing competitive shooting sports in the U.S. and promoting excellence among our talented athletes.
“The NRA Foundation is proud to partner with USA Shooting to show our support for the Olympic and Paralympic athletes competing in the Paris 2024 Games,” Tyler Schropp, executive director of The NRA Foundation said. “Shooting sports in the Olympics embody a celebration of precision, skill and global unity. By including disciplines that demand unparalleled focus and athleticism, we showcase the diversity of human talent and the shared pursuit of excellence, fostering a connection between tradition and the ever-evolving spirit of the Olympic Games. We will be cheering on our athletes at the games and wish them great luck!”
