FUNDING NEEDS
Crystal Farm is a 501(C)3 organization [not-for-profit].

While we foresee the School being self-supporting by its fourth year of operation, we need considerable help in getting it off the ground and flying.

• We need to have about $104,000 to carry out an in-depth fund-raising program and do the preparation and research need to start that first year.
• In order to start our first year of school, we need $1,980,000. With a reasonable tuition, paying staff on a par with better public schools, the beginning of a scholarship fund, and a bit of good fortune, the school will be self-supporting withing 4 years.
• Even small amounts will help. If every dojo contribued $100, if even half of the Aikido community gave $20 each, we would have a solid foundation for the first year of the school's operation.
• Donations of Air Miles would be extremely helpful at this point.
• Budgets for the first five years, a start-up year and the first four years of operation, have been developed.
• If you might be in a position to help, or if you know of anyone who might help, or any resources, please contact us.

Thank you for any assistance you might be able to offer.
