Mini-Grants Available for CycleMAYnia Bike Month Activities

Description

The Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) is now accepting applications for mini-grants of up to $700 each to fund CycleMAYnia activities during National Bike Month in May 2026. The deadline to apply for funding and submit any bike month related activity to the CycleMAYnia community calendar is Feb. 27, giving individuals, employers, community groups and organizations time to plan biking-related events that promote safety, education, sustainable transportation, and improved physical and mental health. CycleMAYnia activities are developed by the community and designed for the community, in partnership with SBCAG. CycleMAYnia 2026 will carry the theme “Pedal Forward,” highlighting efforts to build momentum toward a more connected, healthy, and bike friendly region. CycleMAYnia is supported by Measure A—the countywide half-cent transportation sales tax—and local sponsors. Sponsorship opportunities are available for 2026. Mini grants are open to applicants age 18+ for activities that start and end in Santa Barbara County, and community calendar submissions are open to local businesses and the public, with or without a mini-grant application.
