The World Seido Karate Organization actively supports community efforts through its nonprofit branch, the Seido Juku Benefit Foundation, a 501(c) nonprofit organization. Founded in 1987, it strives to share the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of karate with challenged or disadvantaged populations.

The Seido Juku Benefit Foundation provides financial support and instruction to students who are visually impaired, hearing impaired, homeless, or have special needs, and supports many local community programs, including those benefiting children with HIV/AIDS, victims of breast cancer, at-risk teenagers, and the homeless. Over the past 20 years, the Seido community has donated more than $300,000 to the American Red Cross, Coalition High School, Domestic Abuse Services, Inc., Hale House, Hospitality House and Project Hospitality, the New York City Fire and Police Departments, and many other organizations. Students actively support Seido’s credo of inclusion by donating their time to community events such as food and clothing drives and benefit tournaments.
