Support the Bike Fed

The board and staff of the Wisconsin Bike Fed are deeply grateful to everyone who has made a contribution over the years, providing a solid foundation for our organization. We appreciate the continued support of our cycling community to ensure sustainability of our advocacy and education mission for years to come.

Giving Options

Monthly:

A convenient monthly recurring plan helps you “set it and forget it” so that your thoughtful gift continues on uninterrupted. We ask that monthly recurring transactions of $5+ remain active for a minimum of 12 months to be eligible for benefits in the following calendar year.

Yearly:
When you select the yearly option, you automatically provide your annual support without having to make a manual transaction. Supporters who choose to share a yearly gift of $50+/calendar year per person will be eligible for benefits in the following calendar year.

One-Time:
If you are new to supporting the Bike Fed or have not recently shared a gift, a one-time gift helps you choose the timing for your thoughtful annual giving. Supporters who choose the one-time option for $50+/calendar year per person will be eligible for benefits in the following calendar year.

Gifts in Honor and Memory:
You can honor or remember someone in the cycling community with a monthly, yearly, or one-time gift. Check the “Dedicate my donation” box and type their name in the “Honoree Name” field. A letter acknowledging the tribute gift will be sent to them or their family if contact information is provided.

Other Ways to Support

Utilize or Create a Donor Advised Fund: 
The most important step when making a gift from a donor advised fund or in your estate plans is to have the correct name and designation number to ensure that the Wisconsin Bike Fed receives your gift. 

Our official name is:
Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin Educational Foundation, Inc. (tax ID# 39-1686663)

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting public charities the donor cares about, like the Wisconsin Bike Fed.  The best way to fund a DAF is with highly appreciated asset(s), but cash can be used.  People who put assets into a DAF are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and the donor can recommend grants to any eligible IRS-qualified public charity.  Please consult your financial advisor or the WI Bike Fed’s advisors for guidance with the best way to fund your DAF.

Estate Planning:

If you would like to make a donation upon your passing, join the Century Club for supporters who have gone the extra mile to remember the Bike Fed in their estate plans – through bequest, securities, charitable trusts, life insurance, retirement accounts, annuities, and more. Learn about planned giving options and the Legacy Giving Statement of Intent form HERE.

Matching Gifts:
Thank you for contacting your employer or foundation for information on how to request a matching gift and multiply your support!

Pay By Check:
Please mail your gift with a printed supporter mail form, or a handwritten note to:
Wisconsin Bike Fed
612 W Main St – Suite 200
Madison, WI 53703-4714
