2012 IMBA/USAC Trail Tune-up Grants Available
The IMBA/USAC Trail Tune-up Grants feature $2,000 in funding and a follow-up visit from one of the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crews. The Crews will provide technical assistance for the grant winners’ trail projects.
Projects that create or improve trails used for mountain bike racing will receive the highest consideration, but funding can also be used to improve trails for race training and recreational riding. Applicants must be current members of IMBA, as well as USA Cycling member clubs/race promoters.
The Trail Tune-Up Grants are completely funded by USA Cycling members through an optional checkbox on USA Cycling license applications and renewal forms. The program is administered through a partnership between USA Cycling and IMBA.
The application period is May 15 - August 15. For 2012, one winner will be chosen. The announcement will be made at Interbike, Sept. 19-21.
Grant Applications MUST Include:
- A one-page, typed description of the proposed project that demonstrates how funds will be productively used to preserve and enhance trail access, promote environmental education and inspire conservation in your community.
