Past Contributions
    



To date, Bike & Build has contributed over $1,643,145 to affordable housing groups. Our organization makes contributions in three classifications:

1 - Countributions to En-Route Affordable Housing Organizations
These contributions are typically $100, and are made to local organizations designated by the community groups which host our trips.

2 - Grants
These contributions are allocated through a competitive grant application process. Bike & Build trip participants review the applications and - as a group - decide which proposals to fund. In 2006, grant awards ranged from $1,000 to $10,000.

3 - Pre-Arranged Contributions
Upon occassion Bike & Build has worked with a particular affordable housing group to produce our events. In these cases, a portion of our trips' proceeds are reserved for these groups. Pre-arranged contributions have ranged from $10,000-$60,000.

Please see below for an accounting of the donations from each of our events.
