HISTORY and milestones
Since our establishment in 1967, Educational Funding Company (EFC) has been dedicated to fostering strong partnerships with martial art schools. Our mission is to support their growth and cultivate a sense of community. Picture EFC as a reliable ally, committed to helping martial art schools flourish. Our goal is not only to facilitate success but also to create a network where schools can connect, share insights, and collectively elevate the martial arts community. Early in our company’s history, we set out to “raise the standards of martial arts”. And we believe that with the help of thousands of committed and service-oriented school owners, we have accomplished that!
EFC acts as a facilitator, bridging schools together like a well-knit network. We believe in the power of collaboration and aim to provide a forum for schools to exchange knowledge, fostering a community that thrives on shared experiences. Our approach is rooted in understanding the unique needs of each martial art school. Think of us as a dedicated team that tailors solutions, ensuring not just satisfaction but genuine delight and success for our valued clients. We prioritize client delight, considering it the heart of our collaborative journey. As we reflect on our journey since 1978, EFC remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering martial art schools – a testament to our clients-first service, extreme focus on growth, and the cultivation of a supportive and thriving, global community.
