Tony Hawk Foundation Offers Support for Skateparks in Low-Income Communities

Deadline: March 1, 2005 and September 1, 2005

The primary mission of the Tony Hawk Foundation is to promote high-quality, public skateparks in low-income areas throughout the United States.

Foundation grants are awarded to encourage and facilitate the design, development, construction, and operation of new skateboard parks and facilities in low-income communities. Grants may be requested in amounts ranging from $1,000 to $25,000.

The foundation’s grantmaking program is extremely competitive. Proposed skateparks that are not located in low-income areas and that do not have strong community and grassroots support are unlikely to receive a significant grant from the foundation.

To be eligible, applicant organizations must be a public charity, organized under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and qualified under section 170(b)(1)(a), or a state or local agency, including public school systems or public projects. The foundation will consider assisting start-up organizations.

See the foundation’s Web site for complete program information, funding priorities, and application procedures.
