We're all about rescue.
Kids, seniors and animals, neglected by society and in danger.
High tech infrastructure for our programs and yours.
While we DO stay on the frontline of rescue ourselves, we have an equally strong calling to help other organizations. We cooperate with other rescue groups and provide a 501(c) umbrella for those that don't yet have their determinations.
Children: at the heart of our at-risk youth program is a strong martial arts program. Good commercial programs run $100-200 a month and our target populations can't afford that. Working through entities such as the Boys and Girls Clubs, we provide a complete and balanced martial arts program, providing all training equipment, personal protection gear and uniforms and belts. Through the generosity of our supporters, we're able to take our kids to tournaments and participate fully in all aspects  of martial arts.
Animals: we're the partner you need to go to the next level without interfering with your frontline and internal operations. We can provide a 501(c) umbrella for your fundraising activities as well as help with the 501(c) applications. If you're like most rescues, two of your biggest problems are transport and home visits. We can help with that, too, with a national network of experienced home visitors and (soon) low cost transportation resources.
 Seniors: programs currently in development.
The legal stuff: ARI is incorporated in Tennessee as a not for profit corporation. On June 3, 2008, we received notification that the IRS ruled us a a tax exempt organization under section 501(c). Our application was completed by Grant Writing & Nonprofit Services, a leader in the field. Approval of 501(c)status is retroactive to October, 2005. Your donations to ARI are tax-deductible.
There's a donation box to the left. Would you help us be there when you can't?

Our thanks to the St. James Episcopal Church for their recent Opportunity Grant! St. James has supported the ARI program at the Caswell BGC since the beginning and it is through their help that we've been able to go to so many tournaments and acquire our OWN sparring gear! Thanks! |
