Kathryn McQuade Foundation Grant
Mission
The Foundation was established in December 2013 by Kathryn B. McQuade, after retiring from 33 years of working in the business community. I was blessed to have been born into a loving middle class family. My father worked very hard to insure that all of his children were given an opportunity for a good education and my mother, “a stay at home Mom’ was always there for us. My world was safe and comfortable. My life is in stark contrast to how much of the rest of the world lives. I continue to read of the terrible injustices waged against women and children globally and hope that this foundation can provide them the opportunity and resources to succeed. We will support organizations that help us achieve our goal of Striving to make sustainable improvements in women and children’s rights education and welfare.

The Foundation will make timely decisions on your grant request and provide clear communications on our expectations of reporting progress.
Women
The Foundation’s goal is to provide women assistance and provide them an opportunity to succeed. Assistance can take many forms, however our goal is to help them become self sufficient and enable them to lift themselves out of poverty and provide for their children. Access to education, job training and professional skills, even access to capital in order to build a business are possible ways we will consider helping women to succeed. Grant requests should focus on enabling the women to sustain financial independence.
We look forward to hearing of the many creative ways organizations are working on helping women succeed through out the world. To help women is to help their children and the communities they live in.
Children
Too many children in the US and across the world live in poverty and lack the access to education. Education and/or appropriate skills training are necessary to break the cycle of poverty and crime. While the assistance to women may take many forms, the foundation’s focus for children will target education and/ or skills training. The Foundation is open to many ideas on how to accomplish this goal and look forward to receiving proposals to help all children achieve their potential.

Frequently asked questions
Cycling grants are funded by well-known cycling organizations like PeopleForBikes, the League of American Bicyclists, and the National Highway Traffic Safeway administration. Private groups like the Finish Line Youth Foundation and the Gilead Sciencies Foundation, as well as companies like REI and Trek, support cycling initiatives. Local governments and transportation departments may also offer grants to improve biking infrastructure and promote alternative transportation in their communities.
Organizations working to make biking safer and more accessible are eligible for cycling grants. Many funders prioritize projects that promote sustainable transportation, accessibility for underserved communities, and infrastructure improvements like new bike lanes or safer crossings. Cycling grants are also available to groups further supporting bike safety, encouraging people to bike rather than drive, and promoting eco-friendly transportation as a whole.
Based on Instrumentl’s live grant database for cycling, grant deadlines are most common in Q4, accounting for 35.4% of all submission dates. The slowest period for new grant opportunities in this category falls in Q3, making it a less competitive time for preparation and strategic planning.
The goal of cycling grants is to encourage more people to ride bikes, improve bike safety, and develop bike lanes and trails that make cycling an option for both practical transportation and recreation. Cycling grants support projects that reduce pollution, support healthy lifestyles, and make communities more welcoming to cyclists. Some focus-areas for these grants include bike-share programs, safe routes for kids biking to school, and urban planning efforts that make cities more bike-friendly.
Funding for cycling grants varies widely, with award amounts ranging from a minimum of $500 to a maximum of $24,690,000. Based on Instrumentl’s data, the median grant amount for this category is $8,000, while the average grant awarded is $2,475,650. Understanding these funding trends can help nonprofits set realistic expectations when applying.
To improve the chances of receiving cycling grants, applicants should:
- Show clear community benefits – Explain how your project will improve cycling safety, increase bike use, and make your community healthier.
- Partner with groups in your community – Funders love to see public engagements, so connect with local government organizations or cycling advocacy groups to increase your impact and chances of success.
- Highlight sustainability and accessibility – Projects that make cycling easier and safer for all ages and income levels are more likely to get funding.
