Overview

Mission

Founded in 2018, the bisbee bikeways, a project of ecotopia, is a grassroots movement tackling the dangers of car-centric infrastructure in rural Arizona. We are deeply connected to our community and committed to making our roads safer for everyone.

What it reported doing in 2025

Since 2018, bisbee bikeways has helped write grant applications to raise the federal and matching fund donations needed to fund the lavender pit pathway design and construction and to hire an engineering design firm to lay out plans for an extended network of safe shared-use paths linking bisbee and naco. These projects will make bisbee's streets and trails safer and easier for everyone to use.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
