~Application~
To qualify for assistance you must be a biker.
Membership in a Motorcycle Club, Riding Organization,
and/or Factory Sponsored Group is NOT a requirement.
There are no brand specifications; a riders sex, religion or
ethnic background has no bearing on qualification. In
some cases immediate family members may qualify for
assistance. The situation must qualify as a true and honest
hardship. The Foundation does not detail what constitutes
a ‘true hardship’. Cases are reviewed individually and
arbitrated based on the information provided. Failure to
provide information on the application will only delay
response/assistance.
The Foundation is controlled by a Board of Directors; consisting of nine
voting members, a Chairman and a Treasurer. When an assistance request
form is submitted, along with a summary letter describing the situation and
verifying documentation, it is investigated by the Chairman and voted on by
The Board to grant the request or not. Based on the information they have,
if the request is granted, each Board Member states an amount they agree is
appropriate. In some cases The Board may ask for more details. This
information may be necessary to determine the degree of hardship, and is
required under state law and The Foundation bylaws of Incorporation.
The Foundation guidelines are this: The Biker Fund is not a charity,
insurance company, or hand-out. The Foundation cannot eliminate all
suffering, and is not an alternative to taking responsibility for your own
action or paying your own bills when you can.
