What Bike Share Kc does
Mission
Bikeshare kc provides the greater kansas city area with a bike share system designed for transportation, recreation and exercise.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Bike Share Kc (formerly ridekc bike) is a 24/7 public bike share system providing a unique mix of technologies that extend the fixed-route transit system and gives residents and visitors a variety of options for getting around the greater kansas city area. It offers smart electric bikes, a few classic pedal bikes, and programming that promotes safe bicycling for transportation, recreation, fitness, and a more sustainable natural environment. In 2025, there were 400 bikes in service. More than 4,700 unique users took 27,604 trips; rode 64,000 total miles; offset 66,000 pounds of carbon; and burned 4.5 million calories.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $670k to $348k (−48%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 42% · 2018 49% · 2019 71% · 2020 2192% · 2021 38% · 2022 55% · 2023 54% · 2024 46% · 2025 70%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
71% of BIKE SHARE KC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

2018 → 2021: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $60k → $5.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of BIKE SHARE KC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
BIKE SHARE KC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund BIKE SHARE KC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of BIKE SHARE KC's grant income comes from Missouri funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
