As a direct action to our ongoing statements regarding social justice work, we have expanded our financial assistance opportunities. Cycling has small pockets of diverse stories, inclusive communities, and equity-minded leaders. Bike & Build wants to create more spaces and weave them into our affordable housing cause. In 2022, we are committed to raising the stories and voices to those most impacted by housing inequities and those most under-represented within cycling. We will be offering full funding (including travel and gear support) to 7 individuals who self identify as people of color, transgender and non-binary individuals, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals with long-lasting or chronic illnesses, and others who feel they are under-represented will be prioritized in the selection process.

Available Grant Spots:

- 5 Cross-country or Drift West: https://bikeandbuild.org/routes/

Grant recipients will join a community of B&B Grantees, receive 25% off future B&B programs (with confirmation from the B&B team), and will be invited to interview future recipients.
