As the bicycle transportation hub for Wisconsin, we are building an inclusive culture of biking by increasing access to this low-cost, human powered, green machine. We invite you to explore the many ways to donate, whether it’s one time, recurring giving, legacy giving, booking hotels through our site, or donating a boat or car.
Few societal challenges today cannot be improved by more people biking. Biking is far more than just a recreational option.
You can support our work by donating below.

Booking your hotel stay through our link means you raise money for Bikes for Kids simply by booking your hotel!

Become a BFKWI Sponsor
Through the generous support of foundations and organizations, we are able to provide the basic need of transportation by providing bicycles to people most in need in Dane County and throughout Wisconsin.
Sponsorship can be an impactful way for your business to communicate the priorities of your community focused organization and promote your business at the same time.
Event sponsorships run as low as $500 and includes logo recognition on our website, newsletter, and social media. Our social media pages reach 5,500 followers, and our newsletter reaches 2,500 subscribers with an average 32% open rate.

We take old bikes, used parts…anything bike! Clear that old bike out of your shed, garage or back porch and bring it to us. Your refurbished bicycle will help another member of our community have access to transportation!
