Who We Are
We are a faith-based nonprofit sharing the love of God through mountain biking, mentorship, and outdoor adventures—building hope, purpose, and community one ride at a time.

We exist to glorify God and love people—by getting outside.

Programs that Build Confidence, Connection and Purpose
​
From homeschool mountain bike groups and family adventure rides to mentorship-based youth clinics and parent nights out, our programming is build to uplift, empower and bring people together on and off the trails. Whether you're new to biking or a seasoned rider, there's a place for you here.
Our Why
The Matthew Mark Foundation is a faith-rooted nonprofit bringing hope, healing, and joy through outdoor adventure. Inspired by the lost lives of two childhood friends, Matt and Mark, we use mountain biking, trail riding, and outdoor experiences to build connection, promote mental wellness, and share the love of God.
​
We offer free and low-cost coaching, mentorship, and community events for youth and families across Northwest Arkansas—reminding every participant they are not alone and that life is worth living.
​
Whether it's through a group ride, a trail tour, or simply sharing a meal, we believe outdoor recreation has the power to restore hearts and strengthen minds.
Our Story
Born from heartbreak, fueled by hope. The Matthew Mark Foundation was created in memory of two friends, Matt and Mark, whose lives were lost too soon.
​
What began as a dream to honor their stories has become a growing movement—one ride, one prayer, one conversation at a time.
