Overview

Mission

The exempt purpose of the push movement is to build healthy, inclusive communities through skateboarding and creative self-expression.

What it reported doing in 2024

General programs - push movement is a nonprofit organization that fosters healthy, inclusive communities through skateboarding and creative self-expression. Our programs provide youth with safe spaces to build confidence, develop life skills, and connect with positive mentors. We offer after-school skateboarding sessions, art and leadership workshops, community events, and recovery-centered wellness activities. Through partnerships with local schools, community organizations, and public health entities, push movement supports youth development, substance use prevention, and community engagement while promoting equity, belonging, and resilience.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
