Community Service
Providing massage therapy to underserved communities
The Massage Therapy Foundation believes that massage therapy should be accessible to everyone. Our Community Service Grants deliver massage to underserved populations all over the world.
To date we have granted over $500,000 to 90 different Community Service Grants all over the globe, and served diverse populations ranging from prisoners transitioning back to society, to children orphaned by the Japanese tsunami, to farm laborers in Central Mexico. The Community Service Grants also provide valuable data on special populations and health resource disparities. This information can serve our profession in other capacities.
