Membership Incentive Programs for All Clubs

The Mission of the Membership Incentive Program is to reimburse clubs that show an increase in Bowls USA Membership as of December 31 compared to the total Bowls USA Members  it had the previous year as of December 31.

Individual clubs will receive $10 for each net increased members. The Goal of the program is to reward clubs for supporting the national organization by growing its' membership.

Guidelines

​
  • All clubs within the US are eligible for the program.
  • Membership numbers are based on year end data in the Bowls USA treasurer's possession on December 31 of each year.
  • Incentives are paid to individual clubs at a rate of $10 PER each net increased member.
  • Please note that this $10 PER additional Members will only be paid on the difference at the end of each year.  (So if a club gets 50 new members, but loses 51, they do not qualify for the reward.)
