It's been a crazy couple of months around the world and I'm often encouraged to donate to various organizations and non profits but it's hard for me to decide which I want to support with what I have. As a skateboarder I want to put my money into a community that I connect with and was hoping to get information on any non profit organizations within the skate world I can keep up with. Here are some I know of, info about others will be appreciated.
http://www.skatepal.co.uk/"SkatePal is a non-profit organisation that works with communities throughout Palestine to enhance the lives of young people and promote the benefits of skateboarding."

By combining skateboarding with creative, arts-based education, we give children the opportunity to become leaders for a better world. Our focus is on groups who are often excluded from sports and educational opportunities, especially girls, children living with disabilities and those from low-income backgrounds. We provide safe spaces where children can have fun, build their skills and confidence and break down social barriers by making new friends."
https://www.skateafterschool.org/"Among Arizona’s K-12 students, roughly 214,000 are alone and unsupervised after school. After-school programs like Skate After School keep kids safe, boost student success, and help parents keep their jobs.
