4DWN Case for Support

4DWN is a nonprofit resilience hub in Dallas that blends skateboarding, art, regenerative food systems, and free community programming into one transformative model. The name is pronounced “Four Down!”, a metaphor that means rolling forward. Our purpose is the sustainable well-being of our children and the environment through programs that provide recreation, education, cultivation, and conservation. Our community is built upon a culture of care, creativity, courage, and collaboration. We address systemic disparities while creating scalable solutions for healthier communities and a healthier planet.

OUR MISSION

4DWN is a regenerative platform rooted in pro skateboarding that empowers youth, engages community, and advances the sustainable well-being of our people and our planet. Embodying the philosophy “Think global, act local,” we build systems of sustainability through recreation, education, cultivation, and conservation.

OUR VISION

We envision a world where culture is a catalyst for change, systems are built to regenerate, and every person has access to nourishment, nature, and a sense of possibility and purpose.
