[MissoulaGov] Bike Funding opp

[Dean McGovern]

*BIKES BELONG COALITION (08/24/09)*
The Coalition, sponsored by the American bicycle industry, strives to
put more people on bicycles more often by funding important and
influential projects that leverage federal funding and build momentum
for bicycling in communities across the United States. These projects
include bike paths, lanes, and routes, as well as bike parks, mountain
bike trails, BMX facilities, and large-scale bicycle advocacy
initiatives. The Coalition will accept requests for funding of up to
$10,000 for its two interests: facility and advocacy. Facility grants
are bicycle and/or trail specific. Advocacy grants are for organizations
whose primary mission is bicycle advocacy. Applicants need to note that
the Coalition looks at leverage and funding partnerships very carefully
and will not consider grant requests in which it's listed as the sole
funder. Proposals should encourage ridership growth, support bicycle
advocacy, promote bicycling, build political support, leverage funding,
and serve diverse regions/populations. Priority is given to bicycle
organizations, coalitions, and associations, particularly those who have
not received Bikes Belong funding in the past and projects that build
coalitions for bicycling by collaborating the efforts of the industry
with advocacy. Additional information including an online application is
available on the Web site. | *Avg. Grant:* $10,000 | *Contact Info:
