Club Ride’s 2019 Impact Grant

Working with our own trail coalition over the years has highlighted the need to extend our advocacy for singletrack to another trail organization. Our 2019 Impact Grant is designed to help a trail group in need of funding transform innovative ideas into successful opportunities for their community by awarding them $2,500 toward their project.

Pillars of The Impact Grant

Supporting your Local Community: Trail systems should benefit and link the local community with the biking community. Local communities see the value in trail systems and vice versa.

·      How will this grant help your local community?

Quality of Life: Trails are all about improving quality of life for its respective community.

·      How does this project help improve the quality of life of your community?

Youth Engagement, Volunteerism: Bringing youth and volunteer organizations into your trail project is vital. Any association with NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) or other volunteer groups in your community is a plus.
