Mega Match Campaign is Rolling!
We invite you to pile on the Bike Bus!
An anonymous donor has stepped up to match $15,000 dollar-for-dollar to help us raise $75,000 to help us meet our year-end goal to purchase a Bike Bus! Every donation $500 or more will be matched 100%.
Madison Community Foundation provided us with $20,000 in seed money to purchase our 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 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 12,000 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!
