The DALMAC Fund -- Grant Application

The DALMAC Fund was established to promote bicycling in Michigan.

Programs that encourage bicycle use, teach bicycle safety, or develop bicycle routes or facilities are examples of eligible promotional activities.

The Fund's revenue source is the DALMAC (Dick Allen Lansing to Mackinaw) bicycle tour. Since 1973, DALMAC has been sponsored by the Tri-County Bicycle Association of Lansing, Michigan.

Applications must be received by March 1, 2012 to be considered for funding this year. A project completion report will be required if your project is funded.

Grants for an organization's approved projects are available beginning May 31, 2012. Funds will be dispersed at the TCBA meeting on May 31, 2012. All funded organizations will be expected to briefly describe their project to the TCBA members.
