Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Free Bikes 4 Kidz MN is a non-profit organization geared toward helping all kids ride into a happier, healthier childhood by providing bikes to those most in need.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Helping kids ride into a happier, healthier childhood by providing bikes to those in need.

  • In 2023, we continued our mission to provide bikes to children most in need. Through concerted efforts, we rallied the community to donate gently used bikes and then organized thousands of volunteers to clean and refurbish them. This year, we were able to work with our community partners to distribute 2,395 bikes to youth across Minnesota, while also ensuring that kids had new helmets to ride their bikes with.

    Expenses $425,713 · Grants $250,294

  • In February 2019, the Organization acquired the rights to the MN Ironman Bike Ride. The legendary ride is the longest running organized ride in Minnesota. From humble beginnings in 1967, MN Ironman Bike Ride has grown to thousands of riders proudly riding it annually. The Organization resumed the ride in conjunction with community event in Shakopee, MN in 2023 on June 17, 2023. This event was the primary fundraiser for the year through registrations and donations it profited over $20,000. In 2024, we will be rebranding the event to the Freebike and holding the event on June 1st.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
