What does my fundraising support, and why is it so important?
You can choose from the more than 100 incredible beneficiary organizations in our network! One of the things that make Climate Ride such an effective charitable event is that you can select the organization(s) you wish to fundraise for from our extensive list of beneficiary organizations. Our beneficiaries were selected for their work on the environment, conservation, sustainability, climate education, and active transportation advocacy. At the end of the year, Climate Ride grants the proceeds from our events to these hard-working organizations.
What will a custom trip cost?
The tour cost depends on amenities, services, accommodations, group size, and contribution to nonprofits. We will work with you on a budget that will serve your group’s needs. We request a minimum of four people on custom tours.
Can my group pay in full rather than fundraise?
On any Climate Ride, participants can pay in full or fundraise. One can also contribute through their Donor Advised Funds or contribute securities.
