Fundraising

Once again, the generosity of walk/bike/transit boosters is fueling our reporting and advocacy.

Bike the Drive, Active Trans' most important annual fundraiser, is cancelled due to the pandemic, so Chicagoland bike advocates need to step up and help the group fill the revenue gap.

Happy Holidays Streetsblog Chicago readers. I hope you're having a festive, heartwarming, and not-too-hectic season. (If you're stuck for gift ideas, consider patronizing one of our awesome advertisers, including local bike shops The Bike Lane, Boulevard Bikes, On the Route Bicycles, Roscoe Village Bikes, and Uptown Bikes.)

The Chicago Community Trust is a charitable foundation dedicated to improving the Chicago Region through strategic grant making, civic engagement and inspiring philanthropy. In keeping with their mission, last year they generously offered Streetsblog Chicago a $25K challenge grant so that we could reboot our website and continue advocating for better transportation options for Chicagoland.

Gabe Klein may be gone, but Chicago remains committed to remaking streets that prioritize transit, biking, and walking. Which means there's a ton at stake in the year ahead. You can help make the most of these opportunities: Streetsblog Chicago needs your support to continue producing high-impact reporting that makes the case for streets where people come first.
