The Scottish Bowlers' Fellowship was setup in 1954. The Trustees hold and administer the whole funds of the Scottish Bowlers Fellowship for charitable purposes namely, to give financial assistance towards the maintenance, education and/or benefit of widows, orphans and/or dependents of deceased members of the fellowship who are in necessitous circumstances through ill health or other causes beyond their control.  

Today the  Scottish Bowlers' Fellowship provides wider support making grants, donations or gifts to organisations to aid the advancement of citizenship or community development of public participation in sport and to aid those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.

The Scottish Bowlers' Fellowship is funded through the charitable giving and donations from members of Bowling Clubs across Scotland.
