Tony Hawk Foundation Skatepark Grants


As part of its mission to foster lasting improvements in society with an emphasis on supporting and empowering youth, the Tony Hawk Foundation provides grants to encourage and facilitate the design, development, construction, and operation of high-quality public skateparks serving at-risk youth in low-income areas across the US.
 
Grants ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 are available for the construction of high-quality, public skateparks serving at-risk youth in low-income areas across the United States; the foundation awards grants to about a dozen communities during each of its two annual grant seasons.RFP here.
Deadline: July 2, 2012
 
There are new requirements designed to encourage applicants to aim for higher quality skateparks; the foundation favors grassroots projects that involve skaters in the planning and design of the skatepark and that seek to build quality, permanent skateparks that do not require fees or memberships to use them.
