I would need to ask. Again, we shouldn't waste their time asking if we can't come up with at least 100 programs in the first place.
It could be possible that they want to focus solely on youth, should that be the case your organization would need to decide if you participate or not.
If that is the case, again IF, since we don't know for sure yet... I personally can appreciate the the all for one and one for all sentiment. In which case I might recommend viewing this donation as a "match" whereas you scored equipment for half of your EAB program, but you still need to score donations for the other half. (Assuming the youth/adult ratio is ~50/50.) Diversification in funding and in-kind donations is never a bad idea anyway. Given that this would be refurbished goods, there is an assumed limit to what they can provide. So you might have to determine a way to "discriminate" who gets what anyway if there isn't enough to go around.

if an EAB program doesn't discriminate on the basis of age, does that qualify as a youth earn a bike program?

Until we get a list of 100 youth EAB programs, there is no way to get the goodies. Or rather, only at that point can we begin that conversation.
At Interbike (the place that most co-ops neglect to send people) I spoke with a supplier of lights, locks, fenders, etc.,... and they shared the fact that they want to redistribute all the refurbished products (with fully warranty) specifically to at least 100 youth EAB programs. So please help me fill in that spreadsheet.

Care to share with us how this will get us "goodies" for our kids.

There might be a way to get some free locks, lights, fenders and other goodies for EAB programs if we can pull together a list of at least 100 EAB programs.
If you know of a program, or you are part of a program, please list it in Column "L" of this spreadsheet.
