End-of-Year Donor Challenge

Help us turn $25,000 into $50,000! (Click here.)

Yesterday (yes, Giving Tuesday) we received a wonderful and most generous gift from a very special anonymous donor – but we need YOUR help to collect on it! Here’s our donor’s message to you:

“Contribute to Bike Newport – between now and December 31st – and I will match every dollar donated, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000!”

Now is a GREAT time to give to Bike Newport. Celebrate and support Bike Friendly initiatives in and around Newport – and DOUBLE the value of your tax-deductible donation! (Yikes – we sound like our friends at NPR!)

This is a very important request. With your help, we can meet this challenge – your generous contribution will sustain this organization and support more of the advocacy, programs and partnerships that helped Newport to become the first Bicycle Friendly Community in Rhode Island. And your dollars will support the next steps of youth and community education, road sharing awareness and enforcement, safety equipment distribution, roads and routes improvements, community engagement, park ‘n bike locations, signage, encouraging of bicycle tourism, and much more –  all in the best interest of the health and well-being of Newport’s youth, families, residents, visitors, overall quality of life – and economy.

How to make your tax-deductible donation: Before December 31st!
