Your Support of PeopleForBikes Matters
At PeopleForBikes, we know that bikes make life great. Our goal is to make the U.S. the best place in the world to ride a bike. With your help, we can make that vision a reality.
Since 1999, thanks to your support, PeopleForBikes has worked in hundreds of communities nationwide to get more people on bikes more often and make biking better for everyone. Our more than 1.4 million supporters from across the U.S. help us secure billions in federal funding for more and better bike infrastructure and key programs like City Ratings and the Final Mile help build better bike networks right in your backyard. Since 1999, through our industry community grants program, we’ve donated more than $3.6 million and leveraged $775 million in funding for local bike projects, advocacy organizations, and education programs.

Participation
39 total states have adopted PeopleForBikes’ model, three-class electric bicycle definitions, which define e-bikes similarly to traditional bikes, and we’ve worked in a dozen cities and states to introduce e-bike purchase incentive programs.

Double the Donation SearchDonor-Advised Fund
Giving a gift to PeopleForBikes through your donor-advised fund is convenient and easy for you, and makes a huge impact. A few things to know:
- You can use your DAF to make a one-time or a recurring gift.
- You will receive an acknowledgment for your gift, but not a charitable receipt for tax purposes. This is because it is your contribution to your donor-advised fund that is tax-deductible, not your distribution to PeopleForBikes.
- You may not be able to receive benefits in exchange for a gift made through your donor-advised fund. Please refer to your donor-advised fund or financial advisor.
- Please direct your DAF distribution to PeopleForBikes Foundation and mail to the attention of Amy Ramirez at:
PeopleForBikes Foundation
P.O. Box 2359
Boulder, CO 80306
PeopleForBikes' Federal ID #: 20-4306888 - Please ask your DAF representative to include your name and address on the distribution so we know how to direct your acknowledgment. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact us at pfbfoundation@peopleforbikes.org.
