CMP Grants

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has the availability of financial assistance grants to CMP-affiliated groups benefitting youth marksmanship projects, activities and events.

An “eligible group” is any organization affiliated with the CMP and they must submit an application for a grant for a qualifying project or activity. Applicants seeking to qualify for support shall not discriminate against any member, person or other user of its facilities or equipment on the basis of age, race, color, sex or national origin.

An eligible project must be youth oriented. The project must benefit at least 7 juniors (under age 21) and the funds must be used for expenses related to juniors. The funds will be used for the related activity directly, such as, but not limited to housing, meals, match supplies, etc. Requests must be for “special projects” that are considered above and beyond routine marksmanship activities.

Applicants are expected to provide compelling reasons for requesting the grant and should include detailed descriptions and financial estimates required to carry out the activity, project or event. Activities and projects already sponsored by the CMP are not eligible for grant consideration.
