  • Charles Gates

    The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) has directly benefited from members of the shooting sports community intent on leaving a legacy to future generations of young athletes.

    In 2014, National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA) member Charles Gates passed. Unbeknownst to either organization at the time, Mr. Gates had structured his estate to donate his prized Krieghoff shotgun collection to be sold, with the proceeds to specifically support the youth shooting initiatives of both the NSSA and the SSSF.

    While his estate benefited from the tax advantages of planned giving, his thoughtfulness also enabled him to further his passion to support youth shooting long after his passing.

    It is also a wonderful example of the power of planned giving which can benefit your personal estate as well as charitable 501(c)(3) organizations like the SSSF.

The following are two examples of how to indicate a general or undesignated gift to the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation:
