Fundraising Made Easy | Fundraising Incentives
Fundraising is one of the most important elements of Bike MS. Your fundraising provides help for today and hope for tomorrow by funding education programs, support services, advocacy, and research. Each cyclist is required to raise at least $300. However, the majority of cyclists go above and beyond the fundraising minimum. So, set your sights high and earn great prizes, all while helping fight MS. All donations to the National MS Society are tax-deductible.
Whether you are participating as part of a corporate team, a friends and family team, or as an individual, these quick tips will help you maximize your fundraising efforts.
Step #1: Set Your Fundraising Goal
The fundraising minimum for the Bike MS is $300, but can you achieve Thousandaire status? Keep in mind that you will want an attainable goal and there is always an opportunity to adjust your goal throughout the Bike MS season. Once you’ve settled on your goal, make sure log into your account and update it.
Step #2: Set Up Your Bike MS Personal Page
Did you know if you set up and actively update your personal page you can raise on average two to three times more?

Step #3: Know Your Networks
Make a list of every person you know — the obvious (friends and family) and the not-so obvious (neighbors, acquaintances, business associates, team members, alumni associates, etc.). You have just created your donor list. Need extra help? Use the Know Your Networks worksheet (pdf) included in the fundraising toolkit to the right.
Step #4: Ask Away!
You have created your personal page, set your goal, and made your "ask list"; next comes what many people think is the hardest part of fundraising, the ASK. Tell everyone what you are doing — the excitement is contagious and your story will inspire others. Articulate why you are taking on the Bike MS. Your commitment will be the reason they choose to give you a donation.
The goal of Bike MS is to raise money to create a world free of MS. To help our participants reach their goals, we offer incentives at different fundraising levels. So, set your sights high and earn great prizes, all while helping fight MS.
