Our Mission The MidwayUSA Foundation exists solely to provide
long- term, sustainment funding for shooting sports education in
high schools, colleges and universities. The Scholastic Shooting
Trust (SST) is the Foundations vehicle for parents, alumni and the
community to raise money in support of their chosen high school,
college or university team. The SST is an endowment. As such, money
deposited into team accounts is invested and subsequent earnings
are returned to teams as grants. Participating teams are able to
draw 5% of their account balance once per year, every year, as long
as the team exists. Teams are eligible to request a grant once
every 365 days.

Our Mission - Update **As of 2012, in addition to high school
and collegiate teams, the SST is now able to offer non-school
affiliated youth shooting programs an opportunity to participate in
the endowment program. In other words, we may now include teams
affiliated with sportsmens clubs, BSA Venture Crews, 4-H, etc.
REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-SCHOOL AFFILIATED TEAMS: 1. Have team W-9
(Employer Identification Number) *Its best to have the name on the
W-9 and the name on the team account be virtually identical.
