Fundraising

Every rider participating in the Drift West ride is required to raise a certain amount of money (it all depends on how many weeks you are with the trip).  As a two week participant, my magic number is $1500.  The last time I headed west your generosity helped me raise nearly $4900 so I am confident you can help push me over the top once again.     

So where does the money go?

1. Competitive grant process - The group will receive and review grant applications and make funding decisions via group consensus      
2. Rider designated grants - Each rider is afforded $250 to donate to an affordable housing organization of their choice      
3. On the road donations - As a thank you for allowing us to stay with them, our hosts can designate an affordable housing organization to which Bike & Build will donate $100 in the host’s name.      
4. Pre-arranged contributions - Along the route, there are particular non-profit organizations that help produce CD.  A portion of trip proceeds will be reserved for them.  
5. The remainder of the money raised will help offset Bike & Build organizational expenses.

To help sweeten the deal, the first three people to donate will get a gift from the road and the first fifteen will get a postcard.   

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?!
