The Foundation’s Authorised Purpose
The BAF exists to support initiatives that:

• Improve bowling facilities (through upgrades or new installations)
• Foster the development and leadership of people involved in bowls — including players, coaches, umpires, greenkeepers, volunteers, and administrators
• Reduce barriers to participation, especially for people who might otherwise miss out, such as those with disabilities, rangatahi (youth), and older adults
• Promote physical and mental wellbeing through bowls and related activity
