The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is pleased to announce the 2025 subsidy program for Hunters for the Hungry (HFH) organizations in the United States, by making $100,000 available. In 2024 alone, Hunters for the Hungry organizations provided an estimated 1.7 million pounds of game meat to individuals and food banks in the United States. Available in awards up to $2,000, the fund will cover the cost of processing, shipping, and distributing donated meat.

“I want to thank the generous donors of the NRA Foundation who made it possible for us to support this incredibly worthy cause," said Josh Savani, Executive Director of NRA General Operations. “America has a long tradition of embracing the vast resources hunting provides as a means for feeding family and friends. We are honored to play a role in that noble process. The NRA has long been one of the biggest advocates, supporters, and funders of the various independent groups that facilitate this important endeavor, with over $750,000 being allocated to this initiative.”

More information about the Hunters for the Hungry Subsidy Program can be found online at https://hfth.nra.org/hfh-subsidy/. There, Hunters for the Hungry processors can apply to receive funding from the program.

The Hunters for the Hungry initiative is a loose affiliation of state and independent programs that have provided 45 million pounds of wild game to individual families, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and food banks across the United States. Working with the NRA, these programs connect interested individuals with programs in their area while fostering public awareness through education, fundraising, and publicity.

Approximately 40 unique HFH programs operate throughout the United States on shoestring budgets. The NRA encourages all members and supporters to donate to those programs either financially or by donating legally harvested game meat.
