Mission and programs · 2025

• Adult and Youth Education - WABA's education program delivers high quality, inclusive education experiences that empower adults, youth and families to ride confidently, move freely, and achieve their personal goals ' on and off bike. We envision a region where people of all ages and abilities have the skills, information and experience necessary to make informed decisions about how to get around safely.

  Expenses $713,751 · Grants $226 · Revenue $460

• Trail Rangers - WABA's Trail Ranger program is putting a fresh set of eyes on DC trails to support and encourage a growing community of trail users. Trail Rangers are a consistent and helpful presence on DC's mixed-use, paved trails, charged with assisting trail users, improving trail conditions, and working with city agencies to keep the trails clean, welcoming, and clear of obstacles. They carry tools and are able to help patch a flat, provide a quick fix, dish out maps and directions, or clear up glass and debris before it causes trouble. Their presence means less ducking around branches, and more reasons to enjoy the area's trail network.

  Expenses $565,113 · Grants $1,267

• Advocacy and Promotion of Cycling: WABA's Advocacy Team works to advance safer streets and better bicycling across the Capital region by facilitating grassroot and stakeholder engagement, collaborating with regional partners, and supporting community-led efforts.

• Membership and Development: Members and stakeholders directly support WABA's advocacy for infrastructure and policy to make biking, walking, and transit the best ways to get around the region.

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.
