Mission and programs · 2024

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. The public donates gently used bikes, we organize thousands of volunteers to clean and refurbish them, and then we give them away to kids in need.

  • The year 2024 marked FB4K MN's 17th season. We collected 2,711 bikes donated by community members in early October. We organized 1,085 volunteers who contributed 4,412 hours to clean and refurbish 2,481 bikes which were distributed through local, nonprofit community partners to kids in the Twin Cities Metro Area.

    Expenses $460,469 · Grants $308,758

  • 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 rebranding the event to the Freebike which took place in June 2024. This event was the primary fundraiser for the year through registrations and donations it profited nearly $15,000.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
