Why Our Donors Give
"I give $50 monthly because I see the transformation in my nephew. He went from shy and uncertain to confident and disciplined. Red Dirt gave him that. It's the best investment I make."
"My $500 donation funded a full scholarship for a kid whose family couldn't afford it. Knowing he's now competing at the state level? That's priceless. I'll be giving again."
"As a veteran, I love that Red Dirt supports both youth and veterans in the shooting sports community. Every dollar goes directly to the kids and programs—no bloat, no waste. That's why I'm a monthly champion."
Help Us Close the Gap
Our annual operating budget is $25,000. This funds coaching staff, equipment, scholarships, mobile outreach, insurance, and facilities. We've raised $4,000 so far this year. Help us reach our goal and serve more youth.
