THE SHE SENDS Foundation BELIEVES
IF SHE CAN SEE IT,
SHE CAN BE IT
Women and girls* are vastly under represented at all levels in the sport of mountain biking. The She Sends Foundation believes that together, we can change that!
*The She Sends Foundation is inclusive of ALL people with a special focus on empowering those who identify as female or non-binary.
The She Sends Foundation is a non profit organization that seeks to connect, support and inspire women and girls through mountain biking.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Community
When we asked women and girls who made them feel confident, empowered and inspired to start riding, many said. . .
Other women and girls!
Community is at the heart of making cycling a more inclusive, empowering sport.
Connection
When we connect women in the cycling community, powerful things happen.
We hope that by building a brand to rally around and an online community to belong to - we will form a more nationally connected group working to encourage more women and girls to just send it on the bike!
Collective Action
Together, we can accomplish more than any one of us could imagine on our own.
By aggregating smaller donations into bigger grants - we can use our collective economic power to move the needle for organizations that get more girls on bikes.
OUr Impact
DEVELOPMENT
We are looking to support projects that not only get more girls on bikes, but use the bike to help participants develop into confident, empowered young women.
A few organizations we love that are currently doing this include Little Bellas and NICA GRiT.
DIVERSITY
We are committed to expanding female participation among ALL groups and will fund specific initiatives to improve access and opportunities for under represented groups.
Currently we are involved in a pilot initiative to get more girls on bikes in the Navajo Nation*, but see that as just the beginning!
*Note: There has been a history in the cycling industry of leveraging under represented communities for marketing initiatives. We find this work to be incredibly important - but want to be careful about the ways we talk about and promote it. Suggestions, opportunities and ideas welcome!
DOMINAnCE
As we said - if she can see it she can be it! While this organization will focus primarily on empowerment through participation, we also hope to support empowerment through competition!
Look out for a grant program in the future to provide direct support to female athletes competing at the national and international level in XC MTB Racing.
