Overview

Mission

Develop, coach and inspire junior cycling athletes

What it reported doing in 2025

Bjc is a year-round cycling program that develops, coaches, and inspires junior cycling athletes. Trained and experienced coaches lead practices, rides, and outings to teach cycling skills and racing techniques to kids ages 8-18.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
