Which national group to donate to, and why?

Let's say someone asked you which national bike organization they should donate to. Which would you tell them, and why? Yes, someone could donate to more than one, but in this hypothetical let's say you can pick only one.

There are four groups I'm aware of:

Bikes Belong
America Bikes
Alliance for Biking and Walking
League of American Bicyclists

I've already donated to League of American Bicyclists. I became an LCI last fall, and membership with LAB is a requirement. Other than that, I was considering becoming a member of the LAB anyway.

the only one I wouldn't do is Bikes Belong, since it's funded already by the bicycle industry (e.g. manufacturers). They do really good work, but seems like they already have funding. I would do Thunderhead/alliance for biking and walking...since it trickles down to help other organizations locally with advocacy.

Bicycle Austin forum

This forum’s roots date back to the very first bike email list in Austin, starting in 1994, and it played a part in the getting the segregated bike lanes you see all over town. Be a part of history and make a post!
