About cycling grants

Cycling grants support bike infrastructure, trails, youth cycling programs, and advocacy that make biking safer and more accessible. PeopleForBikes runs a community grant program that funds bike projects by nonprofits and local governments across the United States. Federal transportation programs, state and local agencies, and private foundations provide additional funding for protected bike lanes, trails, and bicycle education.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow cycling grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Can nonprofits and local governments both apply?

Yes. Programs like the PeopleForBikes community grant are open to nonprofit organizations, including those using a fiscal sponsor, as well as local, state, and federal agencies working locally and some community-oriented small businesses. Eligibility varies by program, so applicants should confirm the specific requirements and any matching-fund expectations.
