Tony Hawk Foundation Skatepark Grants

  • January 13, 2020

Tony Hawk FoundationThe Tony Hawk Foundation seeks to foster lasting improvements in society, with an emphasis on supporting and empowering youth. 

The principal focus of the Foundation's Skatepark Grants is to encourage and facilitate the design, development, construction, and operation of new, quality skateboard parks and facilities located in low-income communities.

The Foundation primarily considers skatepark projects that:

  • are designed and built from concrete by qualified and experienced skatepark contractors;
  • include local skaters in the planning, fundraising, and design process;
  • are in low-income areas or areas with a high population of at-risk youth;
  • can demonstrate a strong grassroots commitment to the project, particularly in the form of fundraising by local skateboarders and other community groups;
  • have a creative mix of obstacles and transition/vert terrain terrain;
  • do not require skaters or their parents to sign waivers;
  • encourage skaters to look after their own safety and the safety of others without restricting their access to the park or over-regulating their use of it;
  • are open during daylight hours, 365 days a year;
  • do not charge an entrance fee; and,
  • are in areas that currently have no skateboarding facilities.

Note: The Foundation may offer technical assistance on design and construction, promotional materials, and other information. The Foundation may also facilitate support from vendors, suppliers, and community leaders.
