Pass Through Grant Opportunities for Roller Skating Rinks

Pass-Through Grants for Roller Skating Rinks
Looking for funding to support your rink? The Roller Skating Foundation offers a pass-through grant option that connect rink owners like you with donors who want to invest in the future of roller skating.

How It Works
A donor — often a company or organization that believes in the value of roller skating — contributes funds to the Roller Skating Foundation on behalf of a rink. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Foundation processes the grant, retains a small 5% processing fee, and disburses the remaining funds directly to your rink. It's a simple, transparent way to get support where it's needed most.

What Grants Can Support
Funds can be used for a range of needs that keep your rink thriving, such as:

Facility improvements and repairs
New or upgraded skating floors
Equipment and rental skates
Youth and community skating programs
Safety upgrades

Getting Started
Applying is easy. Complete our online Pass-Through Grant Application using the button below, and be sure to include a completed W-9 so we can process your payment without delay. Once your grant is funded, we'll notify you, cut your check, and mail it to the address you provide.

Questions?
We're here to help. Contact Foundation President Cynthia Anderson at [email protected] or 434-426-0199.
