The mission of the American Kumihimo Society (AKS) is to provide educational resources, support & connections for the braiding community in the Americas and beyond.
Membership offers many benefits, and AKS needs its members to continue offering our valued education and resources. In addition to becoming a Supporting Member, you have the option of giving a little more to help advance the AKS mission.
Our Sustaining Donors are the generous members who give recurring, scheduled donations that ensure we can continue to deliver quality learning opportunities. You can determine how much and how often you give. If your annual donation is equal to any of the Circle of Friends levels, you will be included in the Circle of Friends benefits.
Every non-profit organization like AKS relies heavily on a core of faithful supporters and friends whose annual financial commitment exceeds the basic levels of membership giving.
To thank you for supporting our mission, Circle of Friends members receive enhanced benefits. As a Circle of Friends member, you will be invited to participate in the AKS Education Focus Group that helps determine future eCourses.
The best way to ensure that your donation accomplishes your goal for AKS. Most often members like to ensure the continuation of their quality education, however, you can earmark your donation for other purposes as well. Feel free to contact our donation committee with specific requests.
AKS is always happy to give a new or used dai a happy home. This equipment can be used at our conferences and other events to give members an opportunity to experience other forms of braiding.
