More Than Financial Assistance
The FDR Foundation was created to support riders and families whose lives have been changed by catastrophic motorcycle accidents.
Sometimes that means helping with an immediate financial need. Sometimes it means helping someone regain independence, get back on two or three wheels, access equipment, or simply figure out what comes next.
As we grow, we're building programs designed to provide more structured, long-term support while continuing to help individuals and families facing immediate hardship.
Every program carries forward Frankie Dean Rosales' legacy by doing what this community does best: showing up for our own.
EMERGENCY RIDER RELIEF
A catastrophic motorcycle accident can create immediate financial pressure for a rider and their family.
Emergency Rider Relief provides direct assistance for urgent needs following a serious motorcycle accident. Support may include expenses such as transportation, temporary living needs, essential household expenses, recovery-related costs, and other qualifying hardships.
Every situation is different. Applications are reviewed individually based on circumstances, available funding, and need.
Need help? Submit a Help Request.
BACK ON TWO WHEELS
A life-changing injury doesn't always have to mean giving up the freedom and community that comes with riding.
Back on Two Wheels is an adaptive mobility program being developed to help injured and disabled riders explore ways to safely return to motorcycles through adaptive builds, modifications, trikes, specialized equipment, and connections with experienced builders and disability specialists.
Each project will be evaluated individually to determine what is safe, realistic, and achievable for the recipient.
Our long-term goal is to bring together builders, manufacturers, donors, sponsors, and members of the motorcycle industry to make these projects possible.

RECOVERY & EQUIPMENT ASSISTANCE
Recovery doesn't end when someone leaves the hospital.
Riders may face months or years of rehabilitation, mobility challenges, equipment needs, home adjustments, transportation challenges, and other expenses that dramatically affect everyday life.
Through Recovery & Equipment Assistance, the FDR Foundation works to help qualifying recipients access equipment, resources, modifications, and other forms of practical support that can improve independence and quality of life following a catastrophic motorcycle accident.
Support is determined on a case-by-case basis based on individual needs, available resources, and Foundation funding.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT & FUNDRAISING
Sometimes the greatest resource we have isn't a program, it's our community.
The FDR Foundation works with riders, families, businesses, motorcycle organizations, and industry partners to rally behind individuals facing extraordinary circumstances.
This may include benefit rides, fundraising campaigns, giveaways, community events, donated products or services, and collaborative fundraising efforts.
Our goal is to give the motorcycle community a trusted way to come together and make an impact when someone needs it most.

Not every hardship fits neatly into a program—and that's okay.
Our Help Request remains open to riders and families impacted by catastrophic motorcycle accidents who need assistance. Tell us what's happening, what you need, and how we may be able to help.
Our team reviews requests individually and determines what resources, funding, community connections, or Foundation programs may be appropriate.
HELP US BUILD WHAT COMES NEXT
FDR Foundation is growing from an organization that responds when someone needs help into one that can provide structured, sustainable programs for the motorcycle community.
That takes more than donations.
It takes builders. Shops. Manufacturers. Medical and rehabilitation professionals. Event organizers. Volunteers. Sponsors. Riders. And people willing to lend their skills, resources, products, connections, and time.
Whether you want to fund a program, donate equipment, help with an adaptive build, host an event, provide professional services, or become an industry partner, there's a place for you here.
Help us build the next chapter of FDR Foundation.
