Charitable Giving Policy
NoWhere 2 Ride, Inc. conducts positive fundraising efforts to build and support public skateparks. While we realize the necessity for public skateparks, we also have come to realize that the funding needed to build public skateparks, is not always readily or easily available.
To support these projects, we award grants at the end of our fiscal year. Although we are committed to public skateparks, we cannot fulfill every grant request.
To be considered for a grant, you must submit your request for a grant application in writing to:
NoWhere 2 Ride, Inc., PO Box 511, Rome, IL 61562.
NoWhere 2 Ride, Inc. considers skatepark projects that:
are not for profit. Our policy is to limit our support to organizations which have been
recognized as tax exempt under Section 501( c )(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
are designed and built by qualified and experienced skatepark contractors.
include local skaters and local bikers in the design process.
can demonstrate a strong grassroots commitment to the project, particularly in the form of fund-raising by local skateboarders and local bikers and other community groups.
don't require skaters or bikers or their parents to sign waivers.
encourage skaters and bikers 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.
