CHANGING LIVES BY HELPING PEOPLE PEDAL FORWARD

Do you remember the joy of riding a bike, or the peace of mind of knowing you can get where you need to go? With Pedal Forward, you can share both of those gifts with others by helping local children get to school, veterans get to medical care, and those experiencing homelessness get to food and shelter.

Established in 2023 and formally recognized as a non-profit 501(c)(3) in June 2024, Pedal Forward is giving it all we’ve got to provide stable transportation to low-income and other in-need populations in the quad-cities community.

Reliable transportation is an often overlooked, but crucial first step towards well-being and stability. Pedal Forward is providing donated bicycles, parts, and maintenance to underserved community members of all ages and backgrounds, at no cost to them. Our work empowers underserved communities, facilitating access to education, employment, recreation, and other essential resources.

Pedal Forward aims to improve the quality of life of our recipients by fostering a sense of independence and enhancing their ability to contribute to their communities through the provision of bicycles.

GIVE THE GIFT OF CONNECTION

Help us fulfill our mission of providing mobility and freedom to our underprivileged community members of the Quad Cities.

Your cash donation can be deducted from your Arizona state taxes by applying the Qualified Charitable Organization code 22804 while filing.

Donations go towards our operations, crucial inventory purchases like tubes and tires, and our goal for a fully equipped repair van that can more effectively extend our reach throughout the Quad Cities.

2026 Goal: $250,000
