THE FOUNDATION’S MISSION, VISION & VALUES
MISSION:
The Motorcycle Owners of America Foundation exists to improve rider safety through education and training, while also preserving the rich legacy of a diverse motorcycling community. We are a nonprofit organization that provides a means for riders, family members, groups, and corporations to make contributions to sustain programs that align with our mission, vision, and values.
Vision
At the MOA Foundation, we’re helping motorcyclists return safely after every ride.
We envision a future where every rider has access to the education and resources needed to ride safely, and where the stories, traditions, and heritage of motorcycling are preserved and celebrated for generations to come. We strive to foster a diverse, inclusive, and connected motorcycling community united by a shared commitment to safety, stewardship, and service.
At the Motorcycle Owners of America Foundation, our values guide how we serve, lead, and create lasting impact. They reflect both our commitment to rider safety and our responsibility to preserve and strengthen the motorcycling community for the future.
We believe education saves lives. We are committed to advancing rider safety through accessible training, lifelong learning, and opportunities that empower motorcyclists to ride with confidence, skill, and responsibility.
We honor the people, stories, traditions, and experiences that define the motorcycling community. We respect riders of every background and experience level, and we are dedicated to preserving the legacy of motorcycling through the MOA Historical Archive and shared community history.
We are committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive motorcycling community where all riders feel welcomed, valued, respected, and represented. We believe our community is strongest when it reflects a wide range of voices, identities, experiences, and perspectives.
We believe our impact grows when we work together. Through collaboration, partnership, and meaningful connection, we strengthen our ability to serve riders, support our mission, and advance the common good. We are at our best when we unite around shared purpose.
We are committed to using our resources thoughtfully and responsibly to create meaningful, lasting impact. Through grants, philanthropy, education, and preservation, we serve not only today’s riders but also future generations.
We operate with honesty, integrity, transparency, and accountability in all that we do. As stewards of charitable contributions and community trust, we are committed to acting responsibly, ethically, and in alignment with our mission.
We embrace a proactive, flexible, and aspirational approach to the future. As the needs of riders and the motorcycling world continue to evolve, we remain forward-thinking in our efforts to expand access, strengthen safety, and preserve the culture and legacy of motorcycle riders.
