Great Community Give

On Wednesday, April 22, you can support local nonprofits and this movement: svbcbike.org/GCG

The Great Community Give is a one-day, online giving event that brings together nonprofits across the Shenandoah Valley to celebrate generosity and strengthen the organizations that make this region a better place to live. Powered by the Community Foundation, it’s more than a fundraiser; it’s a shared moment where thousands of people come together to invest in the future of their communities.

For the Bicycle Coalition, the Great
Community Give is both practical and symbolic.

On a practical level, it provides critical funding that helps move projects forward. Whether that’s expanding trail access, supporting programs like Bikes for Neighbors, advancing greenway connections, or building the capacity needed to lead larger regional initiatives.
But just as important is what it represents.

The day is a visible reminder that this work isn’t happening in isolation.

It’s powered by a broad base of people who believe in safer streets, better trails, and more connected, active communities. Every gift—no matter the size—is a signal that people value a future where walking, biking, and outdoor access are part of everyday life in the Valley.

For the Coalition, the Great Community Give is about momentum. It’s about turning individual acts of generosity into collective impact—and using that energy to keep building a more vibrant, inclusive, and connected region.
