Located at 325 West 900 South in Salt Lake City, the Bicycle Collective’s New Hub celebrates a new chapter, becoming the Kahlert Community Bicycle Resource Center. This transformation was made possible by a generous multi-year pledge from the Kahlert Foundation. The Center began serving the community in November 2023, shortly after the building’s completion, with a Grand Opening celebration in May 2024.
“Bicycle Collective is about more than just bikes; it’s about empowerment, sustainability, and building a stronger community. By giving individuals the tools and resources to get moving—literally and figuratively—they create opportunities for independence, health, and connection. Supporting an organization that combines environmental impact with human impact was an easy decision for me,” said Heather Kahlert, Executive Vice President of The Kahlert Foundation.
Bicycle Collective, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, promotes cycling as a sustainable form of transportation and recreation while fostering a cleaner, healthier, and safer society. The organization refurbishes bicycles and offers educational programs, focusing on children and lower-income households.
Funding for the new building was secured through a blend of foundation grants, individual donations, New Market Tax Credits equity financing, and a low-interest construction loan from the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (RDA). The RDA also donated the land for the project.
“This generous donation, combined with the support and encouragement of The Kahlert Foundation, is transformational. It enables us to reduce our construction loan debt by nearly 70%. The Kahlert Community Bicycle Resource Center is a gathering place and a vital resource for accessible, independent transportation,” said Donna Matturro McAleer, Executive Director of Bicycle Collective.
