The Harold Hunter Foundation is a small nonprofit based in New York City that uses skateboarding as a channel to support urban youth. Created to honor the late Harold Hunter, the organization operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on personal growth, community engagement, educational opportunities, and job development for teens and young adults. Its work sits at the intersection of youth development and skate culture, aligning programs with youth-serving goals in the New York area. The foundation serves teens and young adults in an urban New York context, offering programs that foster growth and skills through skateboarding. A notable development in recent years is the hosting of the 17th Annual Harold Hunter Day in September 2024. In 2023, the foundation formed a partnership with the YMCA of Greater New York, expanding collaboration with Camp Nice and linking with the former YMCA Camp of NYC in Huguenot, NY.
