Whitetails Unlimited awarded more than $334,000 in grants this past fiscal year in the State of Missouri. These grants were for various projects within the four pillar programs that comprise the mission of Whitetails Unlimited. There are 28 WTU chapters in Missouri that were instrumental in issuing the grants.

One of the most frequent recipients of these grants were numerous county 4-H groups throughout Missouri. 4-H shooting sports programs fall in line with WTU’s Staying On Target program which promotes shooting sports in various disciplines. Other grants awarded included chapter scholarships given to local students pursuing careers in an outdoor related field.
