The William Benter Foundation is generously matching donations till Oct 31st for new or renewing members. But what if your membership is up-to-date and you want to give more? Sign up for a PittsburghGives account and make your donation go even further on Match Day! On Oct 28th, if you donate to Bike Pittsburgh through PittsburghGives your donation will be matched 50 cents per dollar. Just think, your $100 donation could easily become $150 – which would pay for 250 copies of our brand new Bike Commuting 101 educational guide. A $1000 donation could become $1,500 – enough to pay for the engineering of a mile of bike lanes! A $5,000 donation would become $7,500 which would almost completely pay for printing 30,000 copies of the 2010 Pittsburgh Bike Map!

1. Simply go to PittsburghGives.org and click “login” in the upper right hand corner and then “Create Login” to sign up for an account. Please do so in advance of Match Day.
2. At 10AM* on Oct 28th (Match Day) log into the system and search for “Bike Pittsburgh” or simply bookmark this link.
3. Click “Donate Now” and your donation will be matched 50 cents on the dollar! Minimum donation is $50.

*It’s important you have an account established prior to Oct. 28th and sign as close to 10am as possible because PittsburghGives anticipates the matching funds will be exhausted within an hour!
