OUr Impact
DEVELOPMENT
We are looking to support projects that not only get more girls on bikes, but use the bike to help participants develop into confident, empowered young women.
A few organizations we love that are currently doing this include Little Bellas and NICA GRiT.
DIVERSITY
We are committed to expanding female participation among ALL groups and will fund specific initiatives to improve access and opportunities for under represented groups.
Currently we are involved in a pilot initiative to get more girls on bikes in the Navajo Nation*, but see that as just the beginning!
*Note: There has been a history in the cycling industry of leveraging under represented communities for marketing initiatives. We find this work to be incredibly important - but want to be careful about the ways we talk about and promote it. Suggestions, opportunities and ideas welcome!
DOMINAnCE
As we said - if she can see it she can be it! While this organization will focus primarily on empowerment through participation, we also hope to support empowerment through competition!
Look out for a grant program in the future to provide direct support to female athletes competing at the national and international level in XC MTB Racing.
