Mission

Passionate about the wellbeing of children, Free Bikes 4 Kidz(R) brinbgs communities together to sustainably furnish bikes to kids in need, providing a pathway to health, happiness and opportunity.

  • Free Bikes 4 Kidz (FB4K) currently has affiliates in 19 cities with a goal of expanding to 100 markets nationally. In 2022, our affiliates collected donated bikes from members of their communities, organized thousands of volunteers to clean and refurbish them, and finally, partnering with local nonprofits, they gave over 26,000 bikes to children in need. As a byproduct of this process, we have kept tens of thousands of bikes out of landfills in 2022. Any bike that is beyond repair is stripped down for salvageable parts and then sent to a local recycling center. Not only have we made 26,000 kids smile in 2022, enabling them to ride into a happier and healthier future, we have engaged the community in doing so, while doing our part to save the planet.

    Expenses $94,998 · Revenue $87,585

  • In 2022, Free Bike 4 Kidz created a new program which enabled us to to augment our affiliates' impact by arranging for an additional 1,800 bikes to be delivered to them for distribution to children in need in their markets. This new program focuses on working with bike manufacturing and retail partners to source the bikes, eliminating waste and inefficiencies in their process. We are excited to see this program grow in the years to come.

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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.

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.
