Diversity Equity and Inclusion + Scholarships

Inclusion Matters

Elevate Mountain Bike Festival is a place where bias, judgment, division, and hesitation are left at the door. At Elevate, we believe that all riders, no matter their ability, gender identity, sexual preference, socioeconomic status, or skin color, belong on the trails. The unique aspects of who we are stand as our greatest strength, and through Elevate, we hope to share, learn, and grow what makes us each deserving and worthy individual, both on and off the bike.
We encourage each attendee to bring their authentic selves to Elevate and come to conversations, clinics, and rides with open minds, eyes, and hearts.

2024 Scholarships

At Elevate, we understand that not every rider has the financial means to join us. No matter your background, situation, or skill level, we wish that every rider who wishes to attend, can attend Elevate along with over 100 other women and gender expansive individuals.

We will be offering a limited number of full and partial scholarships to those who apply by our deadline of April 30th, 2024.

Please consider applying today!

Do you want to sponsor Scholarships?

We are thrilled to offer scholarships to riders in need, but recognize that we may be unable to financially support all those that wish. If you or someone you know may have interest in donating to Elevate’s scholarships, we’d love your support!
