Mountain Biking Trails Grants - Due July 31

The International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) offers in-kind grants valued at up to $30,000 to U.S. government agencies, qualified nonprofit organizations, and bike clubs for the development of trail systems designed for bikes. Grantees will receive planning and consultation services that will advance projects that create, enhance, and protect great places to ride mountain bikes. Qualified nonprofits are those that actively manage parks and trails.

The following types of projects will be considered:

1. Projects that serve mountain bikers as the primary users, though multi-purpose human-powered trail uses are viable as well.
2. Projects that will result in a visible and substantial increase in access, improved mountain bike experiences, and greater community benefit.
3. Projects where the Trail Accelerator grant stands to leverage additional resources to ensure the success of the project.
4. Projects that promote community development, volunteer recruitment, new rider development, youth riding, and engaging marginalized community members. Higher preference will be given to projects that demonstrate a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Projects which are primarily based on private land must be fully open to the public and free of charge.
