These resources are available to help you promote your beneficiary status on Climate Ride. Remember, as a beneficiary you are listed on every Climate Ride event (except Glacier Ride and Special Funders Events), so you should always promote all events in your outreach. Your supporters can come to our website and choose the event that they would like to participate in to support you.

We’ve created lots of materials to help you get the word out and to encourage your supporters to register in support of your organization.
Below, you’ll find sample language, images, logos, and photos you are welcome to customize. You’re welcome to use this text word for word if you’d like! Outreach takes a variety of forms and your organization knows what makes the most sense for you – maybe it’s an email from a team member, maybe it’s an instagram campaign. We hope these resources will help you whatever you choose.
If you decide to organize training rides, group fundraisers, form a team or host an informational session (details below), you’ll have fresh and fun content to reach out to your audience with.

A fun way to introduce your supporters or colleagues to Climate Ride is to host a ‘meet and greet’ event. After work happy hours or coffee meetings on the weekend are good venues for an informational event. In the office place, you could host a brown bag lunch where colleagues bring their lunch to a meeting to learn about Climate Ride. Or make it a ride and just chat as you go!
You can use this slide show to help answer common questions and give new folks an idea of what to expect. It’s also a great idea to share the images above so you can give your attendees a visual for what our events are like. We can also provide a special promo code for you to give to people who show up. This is a great incentive to share when you’re marketing the event!
If you’re hosting a video call, we may be able to send a Climate Ride staff or board member to help answer specific event-related questions. And of course, if you are nearby, we might be able to show up in person.
Once you have the info session organized, be sure to get the word out! Share the details in a calendar listing, social media post, or through your e-newsletters.
Organizations that set up a team for a Climate Ride event can reap numerous benefits. Teams are a great way to build a new community of participants, grow your presence during an event, boost fundraising, and deepen your current supporters’ commitment to your mission. Plus, it’s tons of fun! Beneficiaries can offer their team members training support, group fundraising opportunities, custom team jerseys, branded schwag or memberships to the organization.
Some organizations have discovered that setting up a team and requiring team members to select their organization as the sole beneficiary can substantially boost their grant amount. For example:
Please note: It is not required that you set up a team. Your organization can only set up a team if you have a designated participant who will captain the team. Be sure to review the Beneficiary FAQ and the Climate Ride FAQ if you need a refresher on how teams work.
