Help keep aikido accessible to everyone in Chicago.

Why Give

A Community Dojo, Sustained by Its Community

The Midwest Aikido Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, 100% volunteer-staffed. We keep membership fees as low as possible so that training is accessible to anyone who wants to practice. There are no investors, no franchise fees, no paid instructors — just a dojo that has been part of the Chicago community since 1975.

Donations go directly toward maintaining the facility, supporting scholarships for students who need financial assistance, and keeping the dojo running for the next generation of practitioners.

Beyond a One-Time Gift

There are other ways to support the MAC:

  • Tell a friend. Word of mouth is how most of our members find us. If aikido has made a difference for you, share it.
  • Leave a Google review. It helps people in Chicago discover the dojo.
  • Volunteer. We occasionally need help with events, maintenance, and outreach. Reach out at [email protected].
