Community Service Grant Application
Community Service grants are awarded to charitable organizations that provide massage therapy to people who currently have little or no access to such services.

We accept applications from the U.S. and internationally, and also offer one grant opportunity exclusive to grantees from northern Illinois (deadline flexible- please email gnelson@massagetherapyfoundation.org for more information).
