CBBC GRANT PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
The Central Bucks Bicycle Club (CBBC) was established in 1975 and is dedicated to the encouragement of all aspects of bicycling. The mission of the Club is to sponsor and support recreational cycling activities; to encourage bicycling as a leisure activity, as a beneficial form of exercise, as a method of transportation, and as a sport; and to promote equal road rights and safe bicycling practices. CBBC is an active member of our communities with bicycling as the backdrop for this activism. CBBC is an all volunteer non-profit corporation.
Every year, a portion of each registration fee for CBBC's Covered Bridges Ride is put aside for our CBBC Grant Program.
PURPOSE
CBBC has created the CBBC Grant Program as a vehicle to best award financial grants to those organizations whose programs best fulfill the CBBC mission. Proposals will also be evaluated on the vision, goals and needs of the applying organization.
