How to support the work of the
Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute


Summary: We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit running on about $12,000 per year in tax-deductible consumer donations. We do not accept support from the helmet industry, only from consumers. We spend 100 per cent of your donation on program expenses, nothing on administration or salaries and nothing on fundraising. We could really use your support if you can afford it.



To donate

Please do not donate if you are involved in the helmet industry or the retail sale of helmets. We will have to return your donation!

Here is a form to print out to send your check. We also have it as a .pdf file.

The Story


BHSI is supported by consumer donations. We do not accept any funding of any kind from anyone or any organization or company involved in the production or sale of helmets. We spend 100 per cent of your donation on program expenses, nothing on administration or salaries and nothing on fundraising. Donors are not listed on our website.

BHSI is eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions under Section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Service code. Our IRS determination letter is dated October 17, 2016. Our Federal EIN # is 81-4084438.

We run on a annual budget of about $12,000. That is made possible by volunteer staff, no salaries and a lot of scrimping and saving. That beats spending our energy or any part of your donation on fundraising! We are grateful for consumer contributions to support this work.
