Overview

Mission

Advocacy, fundraising, and activation for action sports in Raleigh, North Carolina.

What it reported doing in 2025

Skate Raleigh constructed downtown Raleigh's first skatepark in a public-private partnership with the City of Raleigh in 2023. The non-profit organization manages the 11,000sqft site, oversees events, and promotion of the sport with an all-volunteer effort and eleven board members. We've received grants from the City of Raleigh, via City Council and the Appearance Commission for additional improvements before it's demolition, now scheduled for 2026, to make way for Smoky Hollow Park. As we look ahead to the future we are in active discussions for a potential site at Dix Park.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
