Jeremy Smith
Jeremy raised funds needed by using his phone to call members of his community, sharing about the Kindergarten PE Program and what it could do for the kids in Albertville, AL.
The easiest and first step would be simply googling “local community funds” near your city, state and determining if your program request fits their funding footprint.
Apply For Community Funding
Simply fill out a funding request and All Kids Bike will help by providing an itemization, program overview, or other requested information from the local foundation.
Request PTA Support
We know your PTA/PTO is likely supporting a ton of great projects, and this could be one of them. Ask your PTA/PTO to support this project, or to spearhead a fundraising event to gain the program.
Ask District For Available Funds
We know budgets can be limited, but sometimes there are funds in the budget that can be used for programs that promote physical activity and health. Ask your administrator if there is any available funding.
