Homework

The Stay-at-home order has been lifted, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still be staying at home.

From the Governor’s Stage 1 Protocol “Gatherings, both public and private, should be avoided.” And that means it’s still the perfect time to be doing BBP Homework.

1. Send us some art and Reach out to an artist/creative!

Part 1: Please email nina@boisebicyceproject.org your favorite street art or bike art photo. We need these photos to inspire ideas for a potential BBP + Artist partnership (see part 2)

Part 2: Right now, the work of our creatives matters more than ever, and there is unique opportunity for individual artists to receive $1000 through the COVID Cultural Commissioning - CCC Fund to help tell the story of this moment. Please spread the word to all of your creative friends

If you are metal working artist and are in need of bikes and bike parts... we'll give you whatever you need. If you're looking for a large canvas BBP would like to offer our exterior and interior walls. If there is any other way we can help/collaborate with you at this moment, please reach out directly to nina@boisebicyceproject.org

2. Idaho Gives Bonus Donations

We have $4850 left in matching funds from out $20,000 Whitney Foundation match. And, we’re leading the pack for medium sized nonprofit in number of individual donors. If we stay on top of that leader board we’ll receive an additional $1000 for our youth programs. If you have an extra $10 laying around, now’s the time to invest in the future of BBP. If you don’t have $10, nows the time to hop onto facebook or instagram and share one of our posts with your community. Thanks so much for your support!

Give What You Can, know it's enough
