It goes without saying that each one of these tools is changing lives in a multitude of ways, but we cant help but appreciate that starts right here at home with our donors, supporters, and of course volunteers. Throughout the year our Rockville warehouse stayed busy every week. Our small staff was amplified by dedicated volunteers who allowed us to process and donate a record number of bikes this year. Over 2,000 volunteers grabbed wrenches and logged over 7,000 hours- thats even more hours than our staff worked this year combined! We hosted 60 school, civic, and corporate groups in the warehouse giving them the opportunity to work with their hands, learn more about bikes, and stretch their impact to make a difference around the world. At our remote collection events we joined forces with over 50 groups. And our Thursday night volunteer nights are growing in popularity. This all means that we donated nearly 13,000 bikes in 2025 and loaded 25 containers of bikes for overseas partners. 1446357 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false MD VA X X X The Organization 7037407856 11720 Parklawn Dr Rockville MD 20852 Taylor Jones Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 80594 0 0 Peter Bailey Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tom McCarthy Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Leitmann Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erika Elvander Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Caroline Hermann Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Kowalczuk Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Offutt Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Carson Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arend Kouwenaar Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Hendrixson Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Keith Oberg Executive Director Emeritus 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Wolfgang McGavran Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Evan McDonnell Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 80594 0 0 0 false false false 1325080 976050 1325080 Shipping Revenue 900099 187367 187367 187367 8666 8666 0 31272 31272 31272 Other 900099 340 340 340 1552725 187707 0 39938 976050 976050 80594 56416 8059 16119 126696 113894 8213 4589 15630 12842 1233 1555 27050 27050 4425 4425 21694 9427 8195 4072 5235 1204 4031 93413 93413 4481 4481 5180 5180 13232 8733 3308 1191 Shipping 171101 171101 1544781 1446357 66867 31557 42166 104205 20751 21144 32716 35688 17509 11221 26938 24416 7701 2522 196000 154901 167737 161369 484580 491050 20416 25656 190171 121010 210587 146666 X 273993 344384 273993 344384 484580 491050 7944 62447 0 X false true X true false X 1030106 1055676 1264529 1669368 1325080 6344759 1030106 1055676 1264529 1669368 1325080 6344759 6344759 9 9 10 6052 8666 14746 46 4982 438 340 5806 6365311 0.99680 0.99810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 26938 24416 2522 2522 Right of Use Asset 115954 Other Receivables 45415 161369 Lease Liability 121010 121010 X 1552725 1552725 1552725 1544781 1544781 1544781 Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740) Management has concluded that the Organization has properly maintained its exempt status and has no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025. true Sub-Saharan Africa Grant making Program Services 89774 Central America and the Caribbean Grant making Program Services 46633 136407 136407 Sub-Saharan Africa Education & Employment 2570 Used Bicycles Fair market value Sub-Saharan Africa Education & Employment 11274 Used Bicycles Fair market value Central America and the Caribbean Education & Employment 31466 Used Bicycles Fair market value Central America and the Caribbean Education & Employment 4995 Used Bicycles Fair market value Sub-Saharan Africa Education & Employment 4591 Used Bicycles Fair market value Sub-Saharan Africa Education & Employment 21506 Used Bicycles Fair market value Sub-Saharan Africa Education & Employment 11392 Used Bicycles Fair market value Central America and the Caribbean Education & Employment 10172 Used Bicycles Fair market value Sub-Saharan Africa Education & Employment 22922 Used Bicycles Fair market value Sub-Saharan Africa Education & Employment 11510 Used Bicycles Fair market value Sub-Saharan Africa Education & Employment 4010 Used Bicycles Fair market value 11 false false false false false false X Bikes & Parts 976050 FMV false true true Number of contributions or items or both (Part I, col b) For bicycles and spare parts, the figure in Column (B) represents the approximate number of individual items received.
