Application for Funding/Assistance from the Manawatū Mountain Bike Club

FINAL – MMBC – Financial Support Policy

 

MMBC has launched a new opportunity to provide financial support to club riders heading to National and International events sanctioned by Cycling New Zealand and/or the UCI or any other elite event or activity that involves competition at a high level. The funding will be drawn from the small surpluses that occasionally accrue from club events and from grants that are aligned with this purpose (membership subs won’t be used). Covid may get in the way of international travel this year, but the fund will remain open to applications into the future to support aspiring riders in the years to come.
