Midway USA Foundation is heavily focused on supporting youth shooting sports and related youth development programs across the United States. They fund a mix of state scholastic clay/shotgun/trap programs, booster/parent groups, collegiate and high-school teams, and conservation/hunting organizations that run youth shooting initiatives. Their giving is programmatic and national in scope, emphasizing participation pathways and grassroots capacity rather than broad policy or research work.
Midway USA Foundation Inc concentrates its grantmaking on youth shooting sports, and the pattern is visible across national organizations, state scholastic programs, and local teams. In the recent grants list, the largest award went to Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation Inc in San Antonio for youth shooting sports, followed by repeated support for Pheasants Forever Inc in Saint Paul and Parent Booster USA Inc in Burleson. That mix shows a funder that works through the groups that organize competitions, coach participants, and build local capacity around the sport. The foundation also backs state-level youth shooting infrastructure. Utah Youth Education in Shooting Sports in Pleasant Grove, Alaska Sctp Inc in Wasilla, Michigan Scholastic Clay Target Program in Macomb, and Indiana Youth Shooting Sports Foundation Inc in Noblesville all appear among the larger recent grants. Alongside those statewide intermediaries, Midway USA Foundation Inc supports teams and clubs such as Palmyra Sportsmens Assn Inc in Annville and The Mass Shooters Foundation Inc in Framingham. Its giving is programmatic rather than broad-based, with a clear emphasis on participation pathways for youth athletes and the organizations that sustain them.
A central theme in the foundation’s grantmaking is the national coordination of youth shooting sports. Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation Inc in San Antonio received $404,253 in 2025, $244,529 in 2024, and $291,486 in 2023 to fund youth shooting sports, showing sustained support for a national organizer. State-based youth shooting systems are another major area. Utah Youth Education in Shooting Sports in Pleasant Grove received $193,732 in 2025, $166,667 in 2024, and $109,861 in 2023 for youth shooting sports. Michigan Scholastic Clay Target Program in Macomb also appears repeatedly, with grants of $114,056 in 2025, $110,498 in 2024, and $111,923 in 2023. The foundation additionally funds youth-oriented hunting and conservation groups tied to shooting programs. Pheasants Forever Inc in Saint Paul received $241,176 in 2024 and $235,001 in 2023 for youth shooting sports, while The Foundation for North America Wild Sheep in Cody received $92,611 in 2025 and $91,575 in 2023 for the same purpose.
Typical grants are relatively modest compared with the largest awards: the 25th percentile is $6,861, the median is $10,009, and the 75th percentile is $18,952. That distribution sits alongside a small number of much larger program grants, indicating a layered approach with many smaller awards and some major support for umbrella organizations. The recent grants also show recurring support across multiple years for several recipients, including national and state-level groups, rather than one-off funding. Midway USA Foundation Inc is a public charity and a pure DAF provider, and it also makes program-related investments. The recipient list points to direct program support rather than an open application model.
