Description

Press release from the Spokane County Government: June 16, 2022 Spokane Bike Swap is an annual event that attracts hundreds of people who love of biking in Spokane County. As a non-profit, Bike Swap also provides charitable support to encourage a healthy and vibrant community. With that in mind, Spokane Bike Swap is taking applications for grant funding. Community organizations and individuals will find the application form at the Bike Swap website (see below). Spokane Bike Swap Background and Grant Information: The Spokane Bike Swap held its first event in April 2012. The intent was to be a clearinghouse of used bikes for people who wanted to sell, buy, or donate bikes. Until 2020, the proceeds of the Bike Swap supported a charity in the community. In late 2019, the Spokane Bike Swap became a non-profit and in doing so changed the direction of how proceeds from the Bike Swap are distributed. In 2021, the Spokane Bike Swap awarded $5,000 in grant funds to four different organizations including Center for Children's Book Art, Deer Park Volunteer Ambulance, Commute Smart Northwest and YMCA.
