The Skatepark Project
Category: Sports
DescriptionFormerly known as the Tony Hawk Foundation, the Project is dedicated to promoting the construction of new, quality skateparks located in low-income communities throughout the United States. The Foundation supports projects that can demonstrate a strong, grassroots commitment, particularly in the form of planning and fundraising by local skateboarders and other community groups. Priority is given to projects that are designed and built from concrete by experienced skatepark contractors and include local skaters in the planning, fundraising, and design process. Also of interest are projects that have a creative mix of street obstacles and transition/vert terrain. The Project prefers to fund skateparks that don't require skaters or their parents to sign waivers, don't charge an entrance fee, are open during daylight hours 365 days a year, and are in areas that currently have inadequate skateboarding facilities. A separate grant program is available for requests from Michigan (Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, Washtenaw, St. Clair, and Livingston counties) and New York (Allegany, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Erie, Genesee, Monroe, Niagara, Orleans, and Wyoming counties). Additional information and application instructions can be found on the Web site.
