The JAM Fund was created in 2003 by Jeremy Powers, Alec Donahue and Mukunda Feldman, great friends brought together with a passion for cycling. The JAM Fund helps young, motivated cyclists achieve success both on and off the bike.
Our Mission
JAM Fund is a comprehensive year-round program with a mission to lower the financial barriers within the sport of cycling and to develop athletes who are cycling's true ambassadors. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, our activities are made possible through corporate sponsorships and individual donor support. Each year we issue grants including financial and technical resources and professional training to aspiring cyclists who show enthusiasm and determination to do their best.
Grants
Deserving applicants selected for our grants can receive cash, equipment, clothing and coaching. Learn how to apply.
Racing
Our program prepares our elite athletes to race at the highest levels, making our team the perfect springboard for a professional cycling career.
Events
Our athletes are actively involved in the cycling community, helping with the JAM Grand Fundo, Montague Trainig Crits and the Northampton Cycling Club's Youth Cyclocross series.
““I am confident in myself as a professional racer, and it’s because JAM made me this way.
I will forever be grateful for that. ””
