   2018 Grant Program
For the third year in a row, Bowls USA has participated in “loyalty programs” and “incentives” for 100% Bowls USA clubs. The Grant Program has been the appropriate way to “give back” to those clubs that support Bowls USA. A committee, consisting of Alice Birkinshaw, BowlsUSA Treasurer; Ginger Harris, Councilor (PIMD); and Glorianne Mather, Councilor (CED), administered the program for 2018.  We are pleased to report that 22 clubs from 6 divisions expressed interest and will be receiving funding in 2018. Grant funds may be used for projects that are intended to attract new members or to improve the playing experience of the club. We also specified that funds could not be used for food and/or refreshments. The total amount of grant funds available for 2018 is $10,000.  Twenty-two clubs requested grants totaling $26,000.
