Overview
Mission
Great barrington fish & game, inc. ("the club") was established in 1915 and incorporated in its current form in 1962. We promote fishing, hunting & wildlife among the members & families from great barrington, ma, and the surrounding community. Through lobster bakes, ham shoots, and more than a dozen events at the 40+ acre site on long pond road. We also raise funds to educate all who come to the club as to the responsibilities and rewards of the outdoors. The club's ham & turkey shoots provide youngsters the opportunity to learn safe & accurate use of shotguns & rifles. Adult members guide youngsters & guests in target shooting as well as archery and the raising of pheasants in the club's pheasant pens. We award scholarships annually to graduate students of three regional high schools.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
