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