Shift Events Gives

We believe that bikes build better communities. That is why we donate a substantial part of our earnings to support community improvement projects that make real differences in people’s lives. We aren’t talking about some nominal percentage, and we don’t ask our participants to go out and fundraise. By simply signing up and showing up for an amazing day on the bike, you are actively helping us create a positive impact in the world.

We are incredibly proud of the impact that our organization has had over the past 36 years and over $4.5M in donations.

Shift Events Impact is over $850,000 in 2024

We give in three ways:

$100,000 in grants given directly to community nonprofits where we host our events
$150,000 to nonprofits on behalf of our dedicated volunteers
$600,000 in pass-through donations, using the Triple Bypass, Hundo, or Beti Bike Bash as a goal for fundraising

Rider Fundraising

Each year, various individuals and groups participate in our rides as a fundraising challenge. Whether forming a team or riding solo, our participants raise money for causes that matter to them.

This year, our riders raised nearly $600,000 for nonprofits, supporting organizations such as the Epilepsy Foundation and Lucky to Ride.

Want to use the challenge of our events to raise money for a nonprofit you believe in? Contact natalie@shiftevents.org. We can set up a fundraising page directly through your rider registration page.
