Cycle Oregon provides grants from its $2 million fund to support projects in communities where its bicycle tours travel through and for statewide bicycling advocacy. It distributes around $100,000 annually in grants and gives approximately $130,000 yearly to communities that host its summer and September tours to help with event planning and volunteer support from residents, which are critical to the tours' success.

3. The Cycle Oregon grant fund supports two main causes: projects in communities through which we ride, and bicycling advocacy and projects in Oregon. With nearly $2 million currently in the fund, Cycle Oregon disburses approximately $100,000 each year in grants that spotlight the kind of endeavors that frequently lack statewide attention but often mean everything to the people in the small towns who welcome us on our tours. Cycle Oregon also provides approximately $130,000 each year to the communities that host us in the summer and in September, for the services they provide. These hosts assist greatly in planning our events and provide hundreds of volunteers whose passion and dedication make our tours a success.
