When you hear "nonprofit," you might wonder, "Does that mean everything's free?" Not quite! At Kensho Karate, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status means something powerful: we're committed to our community.
Here's how it works:
- Funding Focus: Our nonprofit status allows us to seek donations and grants to cover our operational costs, like rent, utilities, and equipment.
- Affordable Access: While tuition is currently necessary to help us meet our basic expenses, our goal is to reduce barriers to participation. As our funding grows, we'll be able to hire more instructors, expand our programs, and eventually offer low-cost and no-cost options for classes, camps, and events.
- Beyond Karate: A "dojo" is more than just a karate studio. It's "a place of the way"—a place for learning and growth. Our vision extends beyond martial arts to include:
- Safety-based creative play
- Leadership and employment skills workshops
- Wellness activities for all ages
