Ride to Give is a 501c3 (tax ID 46-2952297) non-profit charity that turns athletic ability into fundraising power for families with children who are disabled, injured, or ill. In the summer of 2013 Dave completed the first annual Ride from Nyack, NY, their former home, to Atlanta (over 900 miles by bicycle) in 5 days to raise awareness and donations for the family of Tripp Halstead (Tripp Halstead
Updates), a toddler who suffered a traumatic brain injury in fall of 2012. Ride to Give has raised over to $2 million dollars since March of 2013 and has helped almost 200 families. We raise funds for medical equipment, travel expenses, and out of pocket costs related to having a medically fragile child. We pride ourselves on our transparency and are happy to answer questions and provide documentation of our IRS status. We retain 20% of funds raised after fundraising fees, which are roughly 5%, and give to causes throughout the year other than the ones we specifically fundraise for. Our 2 employees take a modest salary of $15,000 a year, and we keep our overhead as low as possible to stay in the top tier of charity rankings. The RTGA is the Ride to Give Army, and we are 107,700 members strong. Our slogan is “Give a Little, Change a Lot,” and we are doing just that, changing the lives of children every day.
