What San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Education Fund Inc does
Mission
To provide education, training, and services for San Francisco area residents who commute by bicycle.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The SF Bicycle Coalition Education Fund conducts bicycle safety education and training for adults and youth. The Safe Routes to School program offers education and encouragement for safe and sustainable transportation (biking, rolling, walking, transit, carpooling) throughout the SFUSD school system. The organization's Bike It Forward program helps low-income communities access bicycling by distributing refurbished bikes at no cost and offering education and events to encourage biking as healthy activity and transportation. Citywide efforts to encourage people to ride bicycles include the annual Bike to Work Day, in which thousands across the city participate. The organization also conducts community organizing to educate the public about how transportation policy decisions are made and to connect with neighbors who share their interest in safe bicycling for transportation.

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 2023 to 2024, from $484k to $897k (+85%).
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: 2021 33% · 2023 37% · 2024 39%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Education Fund Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
The chief executive listed changed between the FY2020 and FY2021, and between the FY2021 and FY2022, and between the FY2022 and FY2023 filings.

From the IRS filings of San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Education Fund Inc’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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Education Fund Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 29% · 2019 57% · 2020 43% · 2021 44% · 2022 32% · 2023 34% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
50% of San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Education Fund Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
89% of San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Education Fund Inc's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $306k that is directly attributable, 66% of it comes from funders outside California, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 states 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.
