The beneficiaries of Yellow Bike Project often come from vulnerable and underserved communities: people in poverty, refugees, people experiencing homelessness, women escaping domestic abuse, and those experiencing difficult life transitions. 

One of the most important components of Yellow Bike Project’s mission is to empower people through bicycles. In some cases, they provide a commuter bike that helps them to better access jobs, education, and health care. In others cases, the organization teaches bike mechanic skills that make their clients more independent.

The grant is unrestricted and awarded in support of the mission and programs of Yellow Bike Project, including their Ride to the Future work training program for youth.
