Grants to Establish Public Skateparks in Low-Income
Areas Deadline: March 1, 2008 |
The primary mission of the Tony Hawk Foundation is to
promote high-quality, public skateparks in low-income areas throughout
the United States. While we realize that not every area can afford to

believe that local officials should treat public skateparks the same way
they treat public basketball courts or tennis courts, meaning that
anyone may show up
and use them anytime, unsupervised.
Eligibility: Public school systems, nonprofits, state and local
agencies, and public projects. =Funding: $1,000 - $25,000
