The Fund for Public Health in New York City (FPHNYC), on behalf of the Building Healthy Communities (BHC) initiative, is currently accepting proposals for community based organizations and groups interested in increasing community members’ use of bicycles in the neighborhoods of Corona and Flushing, Queens.
BHC is partnering with the New York City Department of Transportation Bicycle and Greenway Program to encourage cycling as a way to increase physical activity.
FPHNYC will award up to seven grants of up to $5,000 each to community based organizations and groups that seek to increase cycling through coordinated cycling trips or classes/educational opportunities with at least 100 people in total, over the course of the grant term—this can be achieved by hosting multiple events with lower participation, or a single event with 100 people. Proposals to increase secure bicycle parking will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and may include sponsorship of an NYC DOT bike corral. Funding described under this RFP is for activities that must be completed by January 1, 2019. The funding for this award is provided through grants to the Fund for Public Health in New York City from Astoria Energy, LLC.
