Bicycle Angels is a non-profit charity that loans road bicycles to people that want to participate and fund raise via an eligible charity cycling or triathlon event, but don’t have a suitable bike to use, and can’t afford one. Our bicycles are loaned to motivated and committed individuals who are passionate about charity fundraising but are not financially capable of owning a bike suitable for endurance cycling. We help remove a major barrier to charity fundraising, plus engage new people into cycling. About half of our loan recipients later go on to buy their own bike. Since our inception in late 2009, we have loaned bicycles to over 1200 participants who have collectively raised over $3.5 million for 28 important causes. These numbers are growing all the time. Charities that have benefited to date include the AIDS LifeCycle (the largest we support) Leukemia Lymphoma Society (via Team in Training), Multiple Sclerosis Society, National Diabetes Society, Arthritis Foundation, Climate Ride, Fuller Housing Foundation, Best Buddies, and many more. We currently have a fleet of over 300 road bikes for loan in 9 cities, in 6 states, and growing. Our San Francisco Area needs assistance in need of volunteers on an ongoing basis to: - Manage our loaner fleet (urgent need!); and, - Expand 1)our outreach with the cycling community, and 2)attracting potential donors. Ideally, volunteers will be an experienced cyclist who has completed at least one endurance fundraising event and is familiar with the local cycling community. Special preference for members of the LGBTQ members of the community. If this sounds like a position you'd be interested in, please contact me ASAP. Thanks for paying attention!

However in order to really become the charity we should be, we need serious help fundraising. We are currently 100% volunteer and need expert, experienced help seeking and applying for grants and fundraising. We currently have a Fundraising Director position open on our Board but just plain need help. Our long term goal is to have paid fundraising staff as we start to see some more significant money come in. If you have experience in grant writing and/or fundraising and would like to help out an awesome, growing charity, please check out our web site, and contact me for further discussion.
