Motorcycle Riders Foundation Awareness & Education (MRFA&E) was established to promote motorcycle awareness and education due to an ever-increasing rider population creating a greater need. Motorcycle riders and activists have long recognized that motorcycle rider education and awareness are crucial in enhancing rider safety. No one is more concerned with rider safety than riders themselves, and obviously those best suited to educate newer riders are veteran riders. In addition, there are extremely successful and beneficial programs already in place that are willing to share their expertise and materials with others.

To achieve the mission of the MRFA&E, a database has been created on the MRFA&E website (mrfae.org) that includes the following:

1. Links to motorcycle safety programs and rider education courses that are currently offered and promoted around the country by State Motorcyclists’ Rights Organizations (SMROs) and other qualified organizations. This listing assists new riders in quickly and easily finding locations and information regarding local rider training programs.
2. Links to motorcycle awareness audio and video materials shared by SMROs and other knowledgeable organizations. Motorcycle awareness programs include those that educate non-riders in interacting with motorcyclists on the roadways.

Ways that you can you help the MRFA&E
through tax-deductible donations:

1. Contributions by Individuals, Organizations, and Businesses.
We encourage you to contact your employer to determine if they have a matching gifts program to help make your donation go further. Many companies encourage employees to donate to their favorite charities by matching their contributions, sometimes dollar-for-dollar or more. Simply request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your donation.
2. Contributions to the Young Activitist Scholarship Fund.
MRFA&E has created a Young Activist Scholarship Fund (YASF). It is no secret that there is an increased need to encourage younger motorcyclists to get involved in motorcycle safety and awareness programs. To that end, MRFA&E created the YASF to recognize deserving and promising candidates between the ages of 18 and 30 years old. Eligible candidates may receive a scholarship to attend MRFA&E educational programs held at the Motorcycle Riders Foundation’s annual Meeting of the Minds conference.
3. Honor and Memorial Donations.
What better way to keep a motorcyclist’s memory alive than to make a donation in his/her memory to promote motorcycle safety and awareness?
4. Legacy Program.
The Legacy Program allows you to integrate your generosity with your overall financial, tax and estate planning goals to maximize benefits for both you and the MRFA&E. When you make a future or planned gift to the MRFA&E, you really are funding the future
of motorcycle safety and awareness.

Making Legacy Program donations can be as simple as naming the MRFA&E as a full or partial beneficiary of an insurance policy, will, estate, or trust.
