New round of BikeLoud mini-grants open to our members!

Past grants funded #BikeBus Spanish language material, winter gear for biking kids, signs for SafeRoutes2School.

Program description: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Applications: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Applications due on July 15
Text that says, "Announcing that the next round of BikeLoud minigrants are officially open! BikeLoud minigrants provide up to $500 for any idea/project from a BikeLoud member that aims to increase biking in Portland. Past grants have gone to three different bike buses for Spanish language materials, winter gear, and signage, but we'd love to hear any and all ideas -- tactical urbanism? A survey? A super fun ride that just needs a little financial support? Here is a more complete description of the program and here is the form. Applications are due July 15 and will be judged by a subcommittee of the board."
