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.
Our Impact
In just out first year, we've ridden nearly 500 miles, welcomed over 380 participants, and worked with 94 volunteers—all united by a love for the outdoors and deeper purpose. Through homeschool programs, weekend events, and community rides, we're building something lasting: joy, connection, and hope on two wheels.
Our Mission
We exist to glorify God and love people—by getting outside.
Through mountain biking, mentorship and shared experiences in nature, we spread the light of Christ and remind every soul they are seen, loved, and never alone.
Our Why
The Matthew Mark Foundation is a faith-rooted nonprofit bringing hope, healing, and joy through outdoor adventure. Inspired by the lives of two 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.
