STEP 1:  CREATE ENDOWMENT ACCOUNTS

Two endowment opportunities are listed below. Once your endowment account(s) is active, you can start growing funds immediately! Your team must operate in Georgia but does not have to be affiliated with a high school, college or club to open an endowment account. You simply need to be a reputably organized youth club or team. (GYSSF reserves the right to decide what constitutes a club or team.) Club teams, such as 4-H, Boy Scouts, FFA, etc., or those affiliated with your local gun club, are eligible.  We encourage applicants to seek out other funding opportunities and use them along with these:

STEP 2:  FUNDRAISE USING ITEMS WE PROVIDED BY MIDWAYUSA FOUNDATION

The ways to grow your account are endless, so take advantage of all opportunities. Larry and Brenda Potterfield donate to the Foundation annually to fund the purchase of promotional items for teams and our partners to use as fundraisers to grow their endowment accounts. The type and quantity of available promotional items varies, but they are always provided at no cost. Always check our Current Promotions for the latest items. Quantities are limited. For more information, see our Promotional FAQs. We also recommend checking out our Matching Program and exploring other ways to grow your account.

STEP 3: DEPOSIT FUNDS INTO YOUR ACCOUNT

Two ways to deposit funds into your endowment account are as follows:

 

1. SUBMIT FUNDS TO GYSSF, who then matches your funds* and sends them to your Midway USA Foundation who in turn, matches a portion of those funds as well!

2. SUBMIT FUNDS DIRECTLY TO MIDWAYUSA FOUNDATION: Complete this form.

 

STEP 4: REQUEST YOUR GRANT FROM MIDWAYUSA FOUNDATION

Teams with an Endowment Account may apply for a grant of up to 5% of their account balance once per year. MidwayUSA Foundation offer two grant cycles each year, but teams may only apply once per year. There must be at least 12 months between grant applications. (Visit our GRANT FAQs to learn more.)

STEP 5:  DEPOSIT

When your team or club raises funds, those funds can be deposited into your MidwayUSA endowment account, part of which may be matched by GYSSF and/or MidwayUSA, depending on availablity. 

 

 

STEP 6:  REPEAT THE PROCESS

To grow your investment, repeat steps one through five as many times a year as you'd like and watch your balance grow! (Withdrawals are only allowed annually, but deposits are encouraged as often as possible.)
