 4) Bikes Belong Offers Grants to Promote Bicycling

 Deadline: November 27, 2006

 Bikes Belong ( http://bikesbelong.org/ ), a national coalition of 
 bicycle suppliers and retailers, administers a grants program
 designed "to put more people on bicycles more often."

 The grants program accepts and funds applications for three types
 of projects: facilities; education; and advocacy.

 All proposals must address the goals of the grants program
 strategic plan -- encourage ridership growth, promote bicycling,
 build political support, leverage funding, and support bicycle
 advocacy; address the project objectives of the facility, educa-
 tion, or advocacy funding categories; and propose a specific
 program or project that is measurable. Bikes Belong will not 
 fund general operating costs.

 The Bikes Belong Coalition welcomes grant applications from 
 organizations and agencies within the United States that are
 committed to putting more people on bicycles more often. For 
 the education and facility categories, Bikes Belong will accept
 applications from nonprofit organizations and public agencies 
 and departments at the national, state, regional, and local 
 levels. For the advocacy category, Bikes Belong will only fund 
 organizations whose mission is expressly related to bicycle
 advocacy.

 Bikes Belong accepts requests for grants of up to $10,000 each.

 Bikes Belong reviews applications on a quarterly cycle. The next
 deadline is November 27, 2006.

 Visit the Bikes Belong Web site for complete program information,
 application procedures, and examples of funded projects.
