Our Offline Practices
When we say that our Offline Practices include events, seminars, grant proposals, legacy endowments, and Strategic Partnerships, what does that all mean? Below is a brief description of those practices
Events: Seminars
We are blessed to have so many great martial artists be part of our organization. These martial artists donate their time to teach seminars.; the proceeds of which help fund our Organization.
Events: Cross-Training
There is a seemingly infinite number of styles and martial arts gyms. Often politics keeps them seperate, but thanks to the goodwill of the Elysium Organization dozens of gyms and styles can cross train together.
Grant Proposals
Grants are financial aid that don’t require repayment. Grants usually come from our state, the federal government and other Non Profit Organizations. Although grant proposals are far from a slam dunk, they do have a role to play in supporting most charities.
Legacy Endowments
Legacy endowments provide long-term financial health to our institution. Endowments allow a donor to create a permanent legacy at The Elysium Organization, providing funding for scholarships, equipment, and competition programs in perpetuity.
Strategic Partnerships
Stratgic partnerships, like the one we have with the Knoxville Martial Arts Academy and with other Non Profit Organizations (such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters). Are the hallmark of what the Elysium Organization is designed to do – bring people together.
Our Online Practices
Our website is mean to educate people about vision while reducing our print and mail costs, and enabling us to directly solicate donations. Our social media presence enables us to engage in a dialogue with our community online. Finally we engage in periodic crowd-funding drives whenever special needs arise – such as when we need to meet the various city codes we are required to meet in our new head quarters in Knox.
Online Presence
Thanks to our website we’ve engaged at least one person – YOU! We want more people to understand what the Elysium Organization is trying to do to make our world a better place – one person at a time.
Social Media
Whereas a traditional online presence allows us to talk to you, our social media plat form allows us to talk with and to listen to you! We are dedicated to serving our community and we need YOUR help if we’re going to succeed. So please, if feel as we do regarding our issues please get in contact with us!
Online Donation Drives
