15 years ago, a small group of early parkour practitioners in Seattle came together to form the first parkour nonprofit in the United States—the Pacific Northwest Parkour Association, later renamed Parkour Visions (PKV). 

PKV's founders understood, as we do today, the enormous benefits of parkour, including accessible techniques for all ages, applications in nearly all environments, and welcoming online and in-person communities.

15 years later, PKV has grown into one of the largest and longest-running parkour organizations in the world. We remain committed to our mission, to help people overcome barriers through movement and play via 3 strategic pathways: education access, playspace advocacy, and community building.

The Goal

In 2019, Parkour Visions established the Movement For All Fund. This Fund supports programs and advocacy to overcome barriers to play through parkour.

For our 15-year anniversary, we have set the ambitious goal of raising $15,000 for our Movement For All Fund. A small group of incredible donors has created a matching fund, so every dollar you donate during the 2022 campaign is doubled!

Our goal is to raise $15,000 by 11:59pm on Tuesday, December 20th, 2022.

With your support, we’ll start 2022 with an additional $30,000 to create the programs and advocate for the play spaces we want to see. Donate today to double your impact and help create Movement For All!
