CMP Launches New Membership Program, Inviting Supporters to Become Part of the Tradition
The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is proud to announce the launch of the CMP Membership Program, a new opportunity for competitors, collectors, firearm enthusiasts and supporters across the country to become directly connected to the CMP and its mission while receiving exclusive rewards throughout the year.
Built around the message “Join the CMP Community. Support the Tradition. Shape the Future,” the Membership Program creates a pathway for individuals to encourage the next generation of marksmen and women – with annual member contributions donated toward CMP’s Scholarship Program. Outside of youth support, becoming a member presents elevated opportunities when purchasing from the CMP within the new M14 rifle sales initiative.
NOTE: THE ENTIRE AMOUNT (100 PERCENT) OF MEMBERSHIP FUNDS DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE CMP SCHOLARSHIP FUND. THE CMP COVERS ALL PROCESSING AND HANDLING FEES, ENSURING EVERY MEMBERSHIP DOLLAR MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Whether new to marksmanship, a lifelong competitor, a collector of historic American firearms or simply an advocate of the CMP mission, the Membership Program provides a more profound option for becoming part of the organization.
“For more than a century, the CMP and its predecessor programs have helped preserve America’s marksmanship heritage while promoting firearms safety, training, and competition,” said Fabian Lobera, CMP Chief Executive Officer.
He continued, “The CMP Membership Program gives the people who participate in our matches, purchase our products, attend our training programs, and support our mission another way to be part of that tradition, in turn, helping us to carry it forward.”
Three Membership Levels
The CMP Membership Program will launch with three annual membership levels. All CMP memberships are valid for one year from the date of purchase, unless otherwise noted.
· Bronze Membership:
o priority order processing
· Silver Membership:
o priority order processing
o An increased annual M14 rifle purchase limit of +1, for a total of three per year
· Gold Membership:

Each Membership Level includes its own limited-edition CMP commemorative patch and hat.
Membership also satisfies the CMP Affiliated Club membership eligibility requirement for ordering, providing customers with a direct option when purchasing firearms in-store and online.
Note: All members must complete a CMP safety video to activate his or her membership!

Supporting CMP Training & Scholarships
Of course, the most important aspect of membership is an investment in the future through the funding of CMP’s Scholarship Program, which awards up to $1 Million each year in $1,000, $3,000, $10,000, $20,000 and $40,000 offerings. Scholarships are presented to graduated seniors involved in marksmanship activities as well as those local to CMP facilities – all demonstrating leadership, academic excellence, and community involvement.
Beginning in 2027, the Scholarship Program will also be awarded to currant college students, furthering CMP’s objective of supporting safe, constructive marksmanship participation into adulthood and beyond.
