What’s Next: 2027

During our first ten years, we have assisted 104 athletes (97 women, 7 men), from 18 countries in five disciplines of cycling (road, mountain, cyclocross, track & triathlon), seven of whom are Olympians. Many of our athletes have made the jump from domestic elite to professional racing while residents. When it comes to investing in women, the Homestretch Foundation is successful and thriving.

So what’s next?

2027: Homestretch 2.0 moves to a grant-based program.

• THREE athletes will be selected to receive grants that cover 3 months of rent/utilities in Tucson, AZ from Dec 1, 2026 - Mar 1, 2027

• Homestretch will guide the athletes in booking a rental residence in Tucson

• Individuals or pairs (teammates, training partners) may apply for a grant

• Priority is first given to UCI Pro Continental road cyclists, then Domestic Elite Team / National Team road cyclists, followed by MTB & Gravel racers

• Applications for 2027 grants will open in March 2026. Mark your calendar!
  

Where do donations go?

• All donations accrued now through May 2025 go to our current 2025 Homestretch season. All donations accrued between June 2025 through Dec 2026 will be allocated to our 2027 season. Please keep those donations coming! Without you, there is no Homestretch Foundation.
