Aikido of San Antonio is a non profit educational organization under the IRS code 501(c)3 meaning donations can be tax deductible.

Our core values:

• We believe Aikido and all its benefits should be available to all individuals regardless of their financial ability to pay.
• Concepts of harmony, compassion and peace are virtues that many people in our community wish to cultivate and we must provide a place where we can nurture those principles.
• We learn a martial art of discipline and sacrifice so that we may live life more fully not less.
• All individuals should be treated with respect and dignity.

Aikido of San Antonio is a non profit organization because our values lead us to a business model where we concentrate more on the quality of the service provided instead of trying to maximize profits which often leads to a reduction in quality or altering the content of the product offered. 

In addition, while the organization must run as a business, we reject the concept that the student is paying for "services" rendered.  Instead, the member provides something of value (money) in exchange for something of intangible value: instruction in Aikido, a potentially life-changing activity.  This philosophy leads us to the non-profit business model.
