“Fy2020 was dominated by the government-mandated shutdown and mandatory suspension of all indoor, in-person teaching activity beginning 03/2020. In 05/2020, our immediate surroundings were further impacted by violent mass rioting and uncontrolled vandalization, arson and looting during a political protest in the city of santa monica. Lacking income from tuition, the cfk responded by appealing for donations and applying for grants and loans. The resulting funding was used to build a financial safety cushion for long-term recovery once the pandemic and economic difficulties have passed, and to continue our mission throughout the crisis as best as possible.”

“Unusual, covid-related expenses during fy2020 were, for example: mandatory special liability insurance for holding classes outdoors on city-owned land, ppe, cleaning supplies, upgraded locks, and audio-visual equipment for online outreach and classes. Our online classes were digitally webcast from the instructors' homes and from our school location under strict safety protocols. They proved especially popular and attracted many students from across the u.s. And seven foreign countries. We offered 8 outdoor classes per week and 9 online classes per week. These outdoor and online classes were offered free of charge to promote physical and mental public health, and to boost morale while people were requested to stay home or socially isolated during the height of covid fatalities. The ckf has no paid employees. It operates on volunteer labor and donated time and money. This keeps the administration costs extremely low. More information: http://communitykaratefoundation.org.”
