Overview

Mission

Kids Bike Lane is a non-profit organization that partners with charities community groups civic organizations corporations and individuals to provide new and refurbished bikes for under-served youth toward the goal of empowering them to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

What it reported doing in 2024

On December 7 we conducted our 9th annual Big Bike Build where about 250 volunteers assembled 604 brand new bikes that were distributed to 24 charities from Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. The charities in turn gave the bikes to their family children clients for Christmas. Scouts church groups bike shops student services groups families and community groups assembled bikes moved bikes broke down boxes provided Quality Control and loaded bikes into charity trucks.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
