deal!
Wednesday, October 13th, Day of Giving
Please consider giving extra support next Wednesday, October 13th. A proportion of your donation will be matched by the Pittsburgh Foundation.

Anyone who donates $25 (or more) and is not already a member of Bike Pittsburgh will become a member.
Current members who donate can use their donations as a renewal. If it's your time to renew, you'll receive an email from us letting you know that this is a great time to do it!
Also, please vote for us to get Lindsay's donation over at I <3 PGH on the Day of Giving.
So wait, is there a limit this year? will all funds be matched all day long no matter what?! I havent been paying attention because last year the cash was gone in an instant.
From what I understand, all donations will be matched afterward by the $500,000 pool of money based on percentage of donations any one org receives. So if Bike Pittsburgh receives, say $1,000,000 out of an estimated $2,000,000 generated tomorrow, we would receive 50 percent of the $500,000 match.
More likely scenario: Bike Pittsburgh receives .1 percent of the estimated $2,000,000 generated and therefore receive approximately $500 from the Pittsburgh Foundation as a match.
If you're up for renewal, today is the day to do it since we're counting all donations as membership renewals or new memberships.
Thinking about joining for awhile? Do it today!
Didn't know that you can JOIN Bike Pittsburgh? You can, and you should! We are a membership organization and depend on the contributions and hard work of our members to accomplish everything we do.
I know at least a few of you on here are not members...
ah i get it.
cool!
can we renew today and then up our membership amount later? cash is a little tight until friday and i also need to renew my duq membership this week...
If you didn't already see the results of the I <3 PGH poll, Bike Pittsburgh received the highest percentage of votes (47.55%)! I believe that means Bike Pgh got that $50 from Lindsay (thanks, Lindsay).
Venture Outdoors came in second place with 19.61%. That's quite a gap! We obviously have a very supportive community.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Day of Giving results!
