Geography

Observed giving in the latest year reached recipients in 49 states, producing a clear national footprint rather than a local or regional concentration.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows 497 distinct grantees with many state and regional shooting programs funded and low dollar concentration (largest ~4%, top five ~12%), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the funder’s scale.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover and entry: 158 new recipients in 2024 (about 32%) with three years of history and hundreds of distinct grantees; while some grants are tied to endowment-holder status (a practical restriction), observed new grantees and program contacts indicate new entrants do join the portfolio.
