The Goodpush Alliance is excited to announce the 4th annual Pushing Against Racism (PAR) Fund, which aims to financially support and strengthen diversity and inclusion within the social skateboarding community worldwide.
.
The funds will be granted to support projects led by people of color or from disenfranchised communities, and/or to support increased diversity and inclusion within social skateboarding.
.
Funded activities could be skate programs, events, or paid positions/internships for youth from communities affected by racism. The hope is that the Fund will help to direct more money, profile, and resources to support more diverse leadership within social skateboarding in coming years.
.
Aims
- The aim of the project should include one of the following goals:
- Improve physical and mental well-being of disenfranchised communities
- Promote greater racial equity in skateboarding
- Provide access to skateboarding in underserved communities
- Additional social elements (like connecting participants to greater art/educational/leadership opportunities through skateboarding) are encouraged but this is not essential.
Funding Information
- The Pushing Against Racism Fund will distribute a total of $30,000 USD in grants to support social skateboarding projects worldwide. They will select at least one project per continent to receive $2500 each, as well as up to 10 smaller projects around the world to receive $1000 each.
Eligibility:
- Geography – You can be based anywhere! You will just need to tell them which continent you are working in.
- The priority is to support projects with leadership by people of color or other racially/ethnically disenfranchised groups.
- They will prioritize projects serving people of color, marginalized ethnic groups, and under-served communities (such as economically disadvantaged, immigrants, refugees), as well as those addressing intersectionality (gender, sexuality, race).
- One-off events (i.e. public skatepark ‘takeovers or contests/festivals) AND programs running as long as 12 months are all eligible. They will prioritize sustainable projects that have potential to continue.
- They are open to applicants who are new to skateboarding or who have less experience creating or running projects, but all project ideas need to be well thought-out and show commitment and knowledge of the local skateboarding context to be considered.
