The USA Shito-Kai is administrated entirely by volunteers.  There are no administration fees. Even our bank accounts are hosted free of charge by FirstService Bank of Crestwood, Missouri - courtesy of it's executive director Thomas Hagar. (A former karate player himself.)  That means 100% of your donation goes to the athletes.

Furthermore, the use of donations is limited to:
Air and ground transport, lodging, tournament entry fees, and required competition equipment.  No donated funds are used for anything frivolous.  Nor are athletes allowed to use funds for anything other than our stated purposes.
