EXHIBIT A
*42. In 2,000 characters or less, describe the project.
The project involves relocating and installing the donated ramp from Oasis Skateshop (owned by Dan Madsen) to its new site designated by the Department of Parks
and Recreation on Bayfront; applying a new surface to the ramp using 35 sheets of Skatelite, a durable material designed for skateboarding and resistant to outdoor
weather conditions.
*43.501(c)(3) Mission Statement
GCDG's mission is to "strengthen our communities through the cooperative development of programs for east Hawai'i and to promote quality programs for youth and
families.
*44. In 1,000 characters or less, explain how the 501(c)(3) is connected to the project
In 2018, GCDG collaborated with the HI County Dept of Parks and Recreation to reclaim an abandoned tennis court in Kurtistown Park and designed and built the Ola'a
Skatepark. It was formally opened to the public in June 2020 and has been widely used by youth and families until today. Based on the sumess of the Ola'a Skatepark
project, which was widely acknowledged in the skatepark community, the Hilo Skate Coalition (HSC) approached GCDG in 2023 to become the fiscal sponsor for the Hilo
Skatepark to be built across the Civic Center site. GCDG accepted this challenge and so would like to support the creation of skateboarding opportunities in Hilo. Although
funding for infrastructure for the Hilo Skatepark has been allocated by the County, the build -out Is years away and so the Installation of this donated ramp will be one
way of filling the void until the larger project can be completed.
*45. Please upload a completed CRF Grant Budget Form.
