The SF Bicycle Coalition Education Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization that supports all of our organizational work except for endorsements of political candidates. The SF Bicycle Coalition is a 501(c)(4) organization, which means that contributions to the SF Bicycle Coalition are not tax-deductible. Your support of the SF Bicycle Coalition Education Fund will be used for all of our important organizational needs except for direct political lobbying and candidate endorsements.
