As a brand whose fundamental approach has been to support inclusivity and accessibility within skateboarding, across-the-board is our new fund for emerging skate collectives and organizations with the same aim as us.
With this project, we decided to dedicate 10% of the proceeds of the past years to contribute in making skateboarding more accessible through the expansion of our lessons worldwide.
Unfortunately, the recurring events related to COVID-19 have made the organizational aspect of our events very unlikely, given that each government applied very different rules. However, the current growth and establishment of skate projects/groups focused on inclusivity and empowerment sparked a lot of excitement in us. For this reason, we decided that ultimately this fund we have collected should be offered to existing collectives and projects that are needing support to grow their vision and aspirations.
Across the Board Fund is open to all small projects, organizations, and collectives that do meaningful work in making skateboarding more accessible and inclusive for their community, worldwide 🌎
As much as we would like to support every project (because they are all worth it) we only have 5 small funds available to apply for (from £500 to £200 worth) which we want to donate to dedicated projects that need a small help to start something new or support what they already do.
