Support BYCS
As an NGO, our primary focus is on making the most impact possible, which we could not achieve without the help and collaboration from our partners and the public.
Read more to understand the impact we’re making, and how you could be part of it through donating, funding or joining our networks.
PUBLIC SUPPORT & ACTION
Civil Society has an essential role to play in urban change. That’s why we work with grassroots cycling advocates globally, and why we need your help to support them.
Donations to BYCS go towards supporting mobility projects around the world, implemented by our networks of Bicycle Mayors and Partner organisations.
If you want to go even further and get involved yourself, you can look into the possibility of becoming a Bicycle Mayor in your city, helping find one, or joining our network of Bicycle Citizens sharing our message of liveable cities through cycling. Explore these pages to learn more.
PARTNERSHIPS AND FUNDING
We are scaling up with speed due to high demand for our expertise and increased interest in cycling as an urban solution.
As a registered as a non-profit (ANBI status in the Netherlands), we are able to work with a wide variety of organisations, combining our expertise, services and global reach to maximise impact for all involved.
If your organisation, foundation, or group, is interested in supporting our projects, or our work as a whole, you can get in touch with dan@bycs.org to discuss partnerships and funding.
HOW WE IMPLEMENT FUNDING
Research & Pilots
We have a high level of expertise on matters of young and vulnerable cycling populations. BvLF enabled us to carry out a global survey of caregiver cycling habits, as well as funding pilot programmes targeting women caregivers cycling.
Micro-Granting
Through our Global Networks, we are able to equitably and efficiently distribute funding to on the ground implementors. UMI enabled us to support Bicycle Mayors running campaigns to raise awareness for and find Youth Bicycle Mayors in their cities.
Network Facilitation
Since BYCS' inception, we facilitate the Bicycle Mayor Network, which takes up over 30% of our resources to maintain. Where we can, we fund all costs for this network with the help of our partners.

HOW WE WANT TO SCALE
To build our capacity and maximise our impact we’re working hard to develop expertise and scope of work in the following focus areas:
Impact Measurement – Collecting, analysing and communicating the impact that we and our networks are making is crucial to maximising the efficiency of our work and securing support for the future.
Network Capacitation – We support Bicycle Mayors and other civil society groups worldwide, and are constantly in need of more time and resources to dedicate to these grassroots groups.
