  1. 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 Foundation’s 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.

  2. 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 endowmentprogram. In other words, we may now include teams affiliated with sportsmen’s clubs, BSA Venture Crews, 4-H, etc. REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-SCHOOL AFFILIATED TEAMS: 1. Have team W-9 (Employer Identification Number) *It’s best to have the name on the W-9 and the name on the team account be virtually identical. Example: Palmyra Sportsmen's Association/Palmyra Sportsmen’s Association Youth Program 2. Maintain a separate bank account/line of accounting 3. Team members = predominantly high school or college-aged youth

  14. FAQs • Can teams draw as much money as they want from their account? No. Teams may only draw up to 5% of their account balance once annually, either in January OR July (deadlines and forms are on the SST website). • How much of each donation actually goes into the school’s account? 100% of all donations are credited to the school teams you designate. All Foundation operating expenses are paid for by the Potterfield family. No expenses are taken from the investment account.

  15. FAQs • What happens to the account balance if the youth shooting team dissolves for some reason? The money stays in that team’s account in the hopes that a new team will form. • Where does the annual grant money go if it is not requested by the team each year? Each team account is separate. If a team doesn’t draw a grant, the money remains in the account and continues to earn interest based on the performance of the overall investment.

  16. FAQs • I’m interested in my team participating in the Adopt-a-Team program. How do I get started? Contact Jeff or Terri at the Foundation and they will link you up with a Foundation key conservation partner in your area. • No local schools have shooting teams in my area so a group of students from different schools formed a team. Can we start an endowment account? Absolutely! If a school doesn’t allow you to use their name then simply acquire an EIN in the name of your team and a separate checking account and contact the Foundation.
