Support applications are reviewed by our program team. Applying costs nothing and takes about ten minutes.
How review works
What we look at.
- Financial need, described in your own words — no documentation is required to apply.
- Readiness: a specific goal, race, or season you are working toward.
- Fit with an active program and the equipment or funding currently available.
- Geography, since some programs depend on a partner shop or club nearby.
Submitting an application does not guarantee support. Demand regularly exceeds available bikes, gear, and funding, and we review each cycle against what is genuinely on the shelf. If we cannot help this round we will say so plainly and tell you when to apply again.
