Just wanted to add that grants like this are a direct result of hosting and participating in FNRA fundraising such as the banquet that MGO recently held in conjunction with the fine folks at Livingston Conservation and Sports Association (LCSA).

This is one of the many ways Michigan Gun Owners supports firearms rights and education in Michigan. Members raise money for firearms education and safety and that money is directly spent right here in the state on those programs.

The more we participate in these types of events and the more we work with other like-minded pro-2A clubs and groups, the more education and safety programs we can conduct and support.
