Mega Match Campaign is Rolling!
Madison Community Foundation provided us with $30,000 in seed money to purchase our very first Bike Bus. We need to raise $75,000 to make this a reality. The fund will cover maintenance, insurance, and branding through a vehicle wrap to expand our reach and our brand to more potential donors. We invite you to roll with us in our mission to buy our first Bike Bus.
An anonymous donor has stepped up to provide $15,000 that will be matched dollar-for-dollar to help us raise $30,000 to get us closer to our year-end goal of $75,000. We are seeking larger donations in the suggested amounts of:
• $1,000 •
• $2,500 •
• $5,000 •
to make the Bike Bus a reality by the end of 2024!
If you're not in the position to contribute, perhaps you can help us spread the word? Maybe the company you work for provides tax deductible gifts to nonprofit organizations? Please share this page so we can meet this year-end goal and make the Bike Bus a reality.
We believe that every kid should have a bike because they bring independence, freedom, confidence, and they provide low-cost transportation to help kids participate in school events and so much more! To date, we've been relying on renting trucks to haul bikes. Not having access to a truck on a daily basis means missed opportunities when we get a call from an apartment complex, school, or other organization with abandoned bicycles. Plus, having a Bike Bus will increase our outreach opportunities in neighborhoods across Wisconsin.
We've given away over 10,000 bikes in southern Wisconsin and imagine how much more we can do with a vehicle that supports our efforts! Previously, we relied on employee vehicles, volunteers helping us haul bikes in several cars, and renting trucks to do our work. We appreciate your support!
