Why create the Gravel Worlds Foundation?

  • Increased Transparency

    Gravel Worlds has always been about giving back. We love supporting non-porfits and initiatives that give back in our sport and community. Creating a 501c3 allows us to have all of Gravel Worlds’ donations public for all to see. Creating a non-profit wing of Gravel Worlds allows us to be fully transparent in who our event and ownership supports.

  • More Dynamic

    Having our own Gravel Worlds Foundation allows us to be more dynamic with our support. We’re really proud of the projects we’ve supported over the last 15 years. However, some projects take years or even decades to come to fruition, and having funds in our own non-profit lets us adapt and adjust quickly to needs of unforeseen projects we would like to support.

  • Continuing a legacy

    The foundation of Gravel Worlds is rooted in a spirit in giving back. From the first years of our event, we’ve wanted to be an event that strives in taking care of the communities we are in. We strive to take the legacy of the Gravel Worlds founders and continue to grow and do even more good.
