About Donor Advised Funds
Donor-Advised Funds are established by people who wish to have a continuing role in the grant process, recommending, year-to-year, where they want their contributions to go. These funds are ideal for people who wish to start a foundation but aren’t able to carry out the federal and legal requirements involved with starting a foundation. A Donor-Advised Fund falls under the Carbon County Community Foundation umbrella, so our knowledgeable staff takes care of the administration for you, so you only need to focus on the positive impact you are having on the community!  Learn more about Donor-Advised Funds.
The club offers year-round activities to its members as well as the public. We have private hunting land and a shooting range for our members as well as a private club bar. We hold various events/activities throughout the year that are also open to the public such as monthly breakfasts, block shoots, entertainment, and a social hall or outside pavilion that can be rented for various events/functions.
Through their Charitable Fund, the members of the Bowmanstown Rod & Gun Club will support causes and charities throughout Carbon County and Northeast Pennsylvania.
