Bike & Build is an independent organization and has no formal affiliation with Habitat for Humanity International or any other volunteer affordable housing group. Bike & Build supports a variety of affordable housing organizations throughout the country. In the past Bike & Build has worked closely with and made contributions to many Habitat for Humanity affiliates along our events' routes

• How does Bike & Build disburse event proceeds? What organizations does Bike & Build contribute to?

Bike & Build allocates the majority of the proceeds from our events through either pre-arranged contributions or a competitive grant application process.

For certain tours, Bike & Build will work with a particular organization to produce our events; in these cases, a portion of the trip proceeds is reserved for our partners.

For events produced solely by Bike & Build, the proceeds are distributed through a grant program. Throughout the winter and spring our organization and participants will solicit grant applications from affordable housing organization that work with young adults or student groups. During the course of our events, Bike & Build participants will review and evaluate the proposals, and - as a group - vote upon which proposals our organization will fund.
