Community Bike Share Fundraising Campaign

Empower Communities Through Sustainable Transportation

Access to reliable, affordable transportation shouldn't be a luxury—it should be a right. Our Community Bike Share Program is working to bring safe, accessible bicycle sharing to underserved neighborhoods, creating opportunities for healthy transportation, environmental sustainability, and community connection.

This fundraising campaign supports multiple facets of building a comprehensive bike share ecosystem: purchasing quality bicycles suitable for all ages and abilities, providing essential safety equipment like helmets and lights, establishing community repair stations where residents can learn maintenance skills, and creating the infrastructure needed to sustain the program long-term.

Why Bike Share Matters for Underserved Communities

Transportation equity is economic equity. Many residents in underserved neighborhoods face limited public transit options, making it difficult to access jobs, healthcare, education, and essential services. A community bike share program provides:

• Affordable mobility for residents who may not own a car or have reliable access to public transportation
• Health benefits through increased physical activity and reduced air pollution
• Economic opportunities by expanding the radius of accessible employment and services
• Environmental impact by reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices
• Community building through shared resources and collective responsibility

How Your Donation Creates Impact

Every contribution to this campaign directly funds tangible resources that serve the community:

Bicycle Purchase & Fleet Development: Your donations help us acquire durable, all-weather bicycles designed for shared use. We prioritize bikes with step-through frames for accessibility, cargo options for families, and adaptive cycles for riders with disabilities.

Safety Equipment Distribution: We provide helmets, lights, reflective gear, and bells to every rider. Safety education workshops teach rules of the road and defensive cycling techniques, ensuring riders feel confident and protected.

Repair Station Installation: Strategically located repair stations equipped with tools and air pumps give residents the ability to maintain bikes themselves. These stations become community hubs where neighbors connect and share knowledge.

Maintenance & Sustainability: Ongoing maintenance programs keep bikes in excellent condition, while training local mechanics creates job opportunities and builds community capacity for long-term program success.

Building Forms That Drive Fundraising Success

Nonprofit organizations need more than just a donation button—they need comprehensive systems to manage campaigns, track donors, communicate impact, and build lasting relationships. That's where Paperform becomes an invaluable partner for mission-driven organizations.

With Paperform's flexible form builder, nonprofits can create compelling fundraising pages that tell their story visually through embedded images, videos, and rich text formatting. Unlike rigid donation platforms, Paperform lets you design experiences that match your brand and communicate your mission authentically.

Seamless Payment Processing: Connect Stripe, PayPal, Square, or other payment processors to accept one-time donations, recurring monthly giving, or tiered contribution levels. Paperform's calculation fields let donors see exactly how their contribution translates to impact—for example, "$250 funds one complete bicycle with safety equipment."

Donor Engagement & Communication: After someone contributes, Paperform's conditional logic can send personalized thank-you messages, tax receipts, and follow-up communications based on donation level. Use custom success pages to share next steps, invite donors to volunteer opportunities, or encourage social sharing.

Campaign Flexibility for Every Fundraising Need: Beyond basic donations, Paperform supports event registrations with payments, merchandise sales to fund your cause, memorial giving pages, peer-to-peer fundraising forms, and corporate sponsorship packages—all from one platform.

Automation That Saves Precious Time: Integrate Paperform with Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically update your donor database, trigger welcome sequences, assign donation acknowledgment tasks to team members, and sync contribution data with your accounting system. This automation lets small nonprofit teams accomplish what would typically require dedicated development resources.

Data Security & Compliance: With SOC 2 Type II compliance and robust security measures, Paperform ensures donor information is protected to the highest standards. Conditional visibility rules let you collect necessary information while respecting privacy and maintaining GDPR compliance.

AI-Powered Insights: Use Paperform's AI Insights to analyze donor feedback, identify trends in contribution patterns, and understand what messaging resonates with your community. These insights help you continuously improve campaigns and maximize fundraising effectiveness.
