Our Funders & Fundraising Partners
 In the fall of 2007, Mayor Menino launched Boston Bikes, the City of Boston‘s city-wide initiative to encourage citizens and visitors to use bicycles for fun, exercise, and transportation. It seeks to make Boston a world-class bicycling city by creating safe and inviting conditions for all residents and visitors. In the five years since its inception, Boston has transformed into one of the best cities for cycling, earning Silver-level designation as a bicycle friendly community from the League of American bicyclists. From bike lanes to community programs to bike share, Boston Bikes continues to look toward a better cycling future for this city. The New England Grassroots Environment Fund (NEGEF) seeks to energize and nurture long term civic engagement in local initiatives that create and maintain healthy, just, safe and environmentally sustainable communities. The Fund uses grantmaking, networking, and skills-building to fuel local activism and social change. The Boston Collaborative for Food & Fitness is a city-wide partnership working to improve community health through a comprehensive initiative addressing issues related to food and fitness. Our commitment to racial equity is the foundation for our core strategies. The Collaborative is comprised of dynamic individuals representing a diverse group of sectors, including healthcare, government, education, youth development, food systems, social services and residents. |

Our In-Kind Donors
 The Boston Public Health Commission, the country’s oldest health department, is an independent public agency providing a wide range of health services and programs. It is governed by a seven-member board of health appointed by Mayor Thomas M. Menino. Public service and access to quality health care are the cornerstones of our mission – to protect, preserve, and promote the health and well-being of all Boston residents, particularly those who are most vulnerable.
Inspired by French bicycle design of the 50’s and 60’s, LINUS has created a bicycle that preserves the simple elegance, and pure form of that golden era but has all the benefits of modern comfort and reliability. LINUS is the utilitarian, city bike…In most urban cultures bicycles are viewed as legitimate transportation and not merely recreation, but sadly this idea never really caught on in the US. We take numerous little journeys, under 5 miles, as part of our everyday life…. to the store, the pub, to work, etc. Besides the obvious joy of riding a bicycle, these small bicycle trips reduce carbon emissions, congestion, noise pollution, and make for a happier, city experience. That’s LINUS… a simple, affordable, elegant bike for riding around and doing stuff.
