The Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge is hosted by the Santa Cruz County Cycling Club, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 1971.
Our Mission is to bring cycling education to all levels of riders and encourage healthy lifestyles through education, friendship, teamwork and fun.
Every year money is budgeted to fund cycling related efforts within our community and host cycling clinics. Grants are limited to $1,000 per Grant Request and an Organization may apply for up to $1,000 each year. Applicants are asked to attend the monthly board meeting when their grant is submitted to introduce themselves and answer any questions the board may have about their application.
Please submit questions and a Grant application to info@santacruzcycling.org. Please include a budget with all Grant requests. 2024 SCCCC Grant recipients: Mountains 2 Sea Community Bike Collective The Bike Church 2023 SCCCC grant recipients : TCM TriSquad ARES Ham Radio Resilient Central Coast program
