IRVINE, CA – February 19, 2025 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – The National Motorcycle Safety Fund is offering 10 grants of $5,000 each for projects that could enhance the safety of motorcyclists. Applications are being accepted now 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.
“We’ve gotten some great responses so far, but we want to make sure everyone in the motorcycling, transportation, and safety communities are aware of this program,” said Christy LaCurelle, President and CEO of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. “The NMSF board is optimistic that these grants can help make a difference for riders and other roadway users across the country. Proposals can be for projects that are focused locally, regionally, or nationally. We look forward to hearing about the many great ideas.”
To help focus efforts, the NMSF has identified three categories. Projects do not have to exist solely within these categories:
- Motorcyclists and potential riders: Projects would help riders and would-be riders approach motorcycling with safety as a priority.
- Car and truck drivers: Projects would help increase awareness of motorcycles in the traffic mix among motorists and other roadway users.
- Veterans: Safety projects would benefit and support those who have served.
The application period closes on March 31, and MSF staff will review the proposals and present relevant, viable plans to the NMSF board. Applicants will be notified by May 1.
To apply, go to NMSFund.org and click on the “Apply” tab at the top.
