Applications Now Open for the 2025 Strava Strive for More Grant Program (Second round)

The She Sends Foundation is thrilled to announce the launch of the second round of the Strava Strive for More Grant Program — an initiative created to empower young women chasing big dreams in off-road cycling.

This program is designed to support women ages 19–22 across all disciplines — from the UCI World Cup to freeride and everything in between. With the support of Strava, the program provides financial assistance, mentorship, and opportunities to give back to the cycling community.

What’s Included

$5,000 Grant — to help cover the costs of training, travel, and competition.
Mentorship Opportunities — recipients will be paired with industry professionals and athletes for guidance and career development.
Community Giveback — each recipient will contribute to an initiative that supports and uplifts other women in cycling.

Application Details

Applications are open now through October 29, 2025. Recipients will be selected and announced in November 2025 following a review by the She Sends Foundation Board of Directors and its advisory team.

To be eligible, applicants must:

• Be a U.S. resident

• Identify as female

• Meet U23 criteria (ages 19–22)

If you’re a young woman determined to make your mark in off-road cycling, this is your opportunity to take the next step.
