    About Strider Education Foundation

    Strider Education Foundation Inc centers its giving on a single school-based model: a ready-to-teach kindergarten PE Learn-to-Ride program that includes teacher training, curriculum, bikes, helmets, and ongoing support. That program focus shows up repeatedly in the recent grants list, where large awards support public school districts such as Los Angeles Unified School District in Los Angeles, CA and Bismarck Public Schools in Bismarck, ND. The foundation’s stated purpose is to give every child in America the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike in school, and its current program menu matches that aim with school applications, multi-school applications, and traffic safety kits. Recent awards range across district sizes and regions, from major urban systems to smaller public school districts, all tied to bike instruction, physical education, and traffic safety. The grant language is consistent enough to show a clear operating model: schools receive a packaged program rather than isolated, one-off materials, with support designed to carry classroom bike instruction over multiple years.

    What Strider Education Foundation Funds

    In education and physical education, the foundation funded Los Angeles Unified School District with $245,353 for a Learn Ride Program, and Bismarck Public Schools with $66,495 for the same program. Those awards point to a school-delivery model rather than unrestricted support. The program description also ties the work to early childhood learning, since the kindergarten PE Learn-to-Ride offering is built for kindergartners in class. Traffic safety is another explicit theme: the foundation offers a Traffic Safety Kit Request that provides educational materials and resources for bicycle and traffic safety lessons. Youth physical activity appears alongside those themes in the program descriptions, which frame biking as both a skill-building and active-transportation activity for schools.

    How Strider Education Foundation Gives

    Typical awards cluster at a modest program-grant level, with a p25 of $5,115, a median of $7,720, and a p75 of $16,750. The recent list also shows some larger, district-scale awards above that range, but the core pattern is a repeated, standardized school program. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or PRIs. Program descriptions indicate a one-time $9,000 investment for the All Kids Bike School Program, designed to last 7–10 years, and the grant listings show schools appearing more than once across 2023 and 2024, indicating repeat institutional relationships rather than isolated grants.

    Where Strider Education Foundation Makes Grants

    Giving is national, with 81 recent grants in the United States. The top state by grant count is New York, while only 2% of grants go to recipients in the headquarters state of South Dakota. Recent awards land in a wide spread of places, including Los Angeles and Bismarck, as well as Seattle, Minot, Charlotte, and Phoenix. That pattern shows a school-focused footprint that reaches multiple regions rather than staying near Rapid City.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Strider Education Foundation

The stated focus includes physical education, early childhood learning, bike safety, and traffic safety education.

    What is the typical grant size?

    Typical grant size is relatively small and standardized: p25 is $5,115, median is $7,720, and p75 is $16,750. The active All Kids Bike School Program is described as a one-time $9,000 investment, which fits the broader program-grant structure.

    Does the foundation accept unsolicited applications?

    Yes. The active program list marks the Traffic Safety Kit Request, the All Kids Bike School Program, the All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Learn-to-Ride Program, and the Multi-School Application as accepting unsolicited requests or applications.

    Are grants concentrated in one state or city?

    Giving is national, but the top state by grant count is New York. Only 2% of grants go to recipients in South Dakota, the headquarters state. Recent grants also appear in cities such as Los Angeles, Bismarck, Seattle, Charlotte, and Phoenix.

    Do the grants appear to be recurring?
