National Motorcycle Safety Fund Accepting Applications for $5,000 Toward Safety Projects

IRVINE, CA – January 7, 2026 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Building on strong interest and a range of impactful proposals submitted last year, the National Motorcycle Safety Fund is once again offering 10 grants of $5,000 each for projects that could enhance the safety of motorcyclists. Applications are being accepted January 7 through March 31 from individuals and organizations. Proposals can be for projects supporting specific safe-riding initiatives, projects that would help foster a safer riding environment, or for motorcycle safety related research efforts.

“The National Motorcycle Safety Fund was created to make a real, lasting impact on rider safety, and these grants help us do exactly that,” said Christy LaCurelle, President and CEO of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. “After seeing the enthusiastic response and strong ideas submitted last year, we’re pleased to open the application process again and support projects that strengthen safety across the motorcycling community.”

To help focus efforts, the NMSF has identified three project categories. However, projects do not have to exist solely within these categories:

1. Motorcyclists and potential riders: Projects would help riders and would-be riders approach motorcycling with safety as a priority.
2. Car and truck drivers: Projects would help increase awareness of motorcycles in the traffic mix among motorists and other roadway users.
3. Veterans: Safety projects would benefit and support those who have served.

The application period closes on March 31. Applicants will be notified of NMSF’s decision by May 1.

To apply, go to NMSFund.org and click on the “Apply” tab at the top.
