2026 Grant Program

Here at the She Sends Foundation, we’re proud to provide financial support to organizations, teams and individuals who are breaking down barriers, and providing support, for women and girls in the sport of mountain biking. From helping our partners build local programs, to supporting female athletes with big competitive dreams, we’re here to help create a more inclusive and accessible future for the sport we love.

We know the hurdles are real, and different for all women, so we are proud to serve a diverse scope of projects, programs, initiatives, and dreams. Mountain biking can, and does, often have profound and positive implications for womens’ mental and physical health, and we are here to support it in various different ways.

We believe that expanding access to mountain biking for ALL women and girls is a priority. We believe that equity and inclusion are non-negotiables. We believe that sustainable, community driven programs can make communities healthier and more resilient.
