CMP Annual Report. The Board of Directors and Officers of the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, Inc., commonly known as the Civilian Marksmanship Program or CMP, proudly present this CMP 2014 Annual Report. During FY14, proceeds from the sale of government surplus rifles and ammunition fully funded all CMP programs, providing a substantial excess of revenue over expenses for our twelfth consecutive year. This excess is invested in CMP's permanent endowment, providing funds to finance CMP programs in future years when the supply of government surplus rifles is exhausted. In the past fiscal year, the CMP not only provided an expanding array of firearm safety and marksmanship programs for U. S. citizens, but continued to support marksmanship training and competition activities for Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force JROTC units through funding, awards and staff and volunteer expertise.
