Burnquist started the Bob Burnquist Foundation to bring knowledge about [[organic farming]] and gardening to schools, and was one of the founders of the Action Sports Environmental Coalition, a nonprofit organization that brings [[Ecology|ecological]] awareness to skateboarders, surfers and [[BMX]]ers. In an interview in 2010, Burnquist stated, "Well, the latest is that we're working with a restaurant chain called the [[Chipotle Mexican Grill|Chipotle Grill]]- they've got good values, trying to make food with integrity- and I'm starting an organic garden that they've committed to studying and seeing what they can use in their own kitchens."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espnstar.com/other-sports/news/detail/item615665/Bob-Burnquist-spills-the-beans/|title=Contender.com - Negotiate Tickets, Not The Nonsense|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110501211501/http://www.espnstar.com/other-sports/news/detail/item615665/Bob-Burnquist-spills-the-beans/|archive-date=May 1, 2011}}</ref>

In May 2020 Burnquist founded the Instituto Skate Cuida as an initiative to support vulnerable communities in Brazil and elsewhere by using skateboarding as an introduction to arts, culture, education, and skills development including programming and web3. The Institute has partnerships with various institutions such as Banco do Brasil, Ademáfia Institute, Nova Era Institute, and CemporcentoSKATE. The Instituto Skate Cuida maintains a fundraising project on the public goods-focused, web3-based platform [[Giveth]].
