Description
People for Bikes provides Community Grants of up to $10,000 annually for projects that improve cycling in communities across the US. However, the grant will not fund projects in which the grant funding would amount to 50% or more of the project budget. The pro- gram typically awards grants to non - profits and local governments. Examples of projects the grant has funded include bike trails and bike lanes, bike parks, and bike infrastructure such as bike racks, bike parking, and bike re- pair stations. Each year, a total of 15 grant applicants may receive $1,500 in community grants for pro- jects related to creating healthy, active, and engaged places to live, work and play. The program has a history of funding a diverse range of applicants and diverse range of pro- jects, including walking and cycling paths and other outdoor recreation spaces. Rails to Trails awards approximately $85,000 per year to organizations and local govern- ments that are implementing projects to build and improve mixed - use trails. The program has historically funded cities and counties, cycling and pedestrian organizations, and other non - profits. NRPA provides grants and technical assistance to support planning efforts that help cities increase access to high ‐ quality parks and greenspaces within a 10‐ minute walk. The last round of grants provided 10 cities with $40,000. The NRPA, Trust for Public Land (TPL), Urban Land Institute, and additional national and local experts also offer technical support, including access and support for planning and mapping tools such as TPL ’ s ParkServe and Parkology, peer ‐ to ‐ peer sup- port and networking opportunities, and na- tional visibility through publications.
