Overview
Mission
We are committed to building equity for groups that have historically been marginalized within skate culture and its evolving industries.
What it reported doing in 2025
Over 2000 participants serviced. Over 1000 skate related safety gear and equipment given to skaters in need. Over 20 Skate Meet Ups hosted. Over 2000 bottles and similar recycled.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
