Nominations Open for Massage Therapy Foundation Community Service Awards

Donor Name: Massage Therapy Foundation

Reference URL:https://massagetherapyfoundation.org/grants-awards-contests/community-service-awards/

The Massage Therapy Foundation Community Service Awards from the Massage Therapy Foundation provide project funding to nonprofit organizations partnering with massage therapists to deliver therapeutic massage and bodywork to communities with little or no access to these services and help them achieve their health potential.

The Massage Therapy Foundation advances the knowledge and practice of massage therapy through support for scientific research, education, and community service.

The awards fund therapeutic massage and bodywork for communities or groups with little or no access to these services, including populations marginalized by society, with the aim of helping them achieve their health potential. Projects may also bring these services to mainstream settings where they are not yet available, and are intended to build partnerships between massage and bodywork professionals and community-based organizations.

Each award provides up to $20,000 for a 12-month project period. Funds may cover project salaries and wages, partial release-time allowances for therapists, relevant supplies, marketing, project-related travel, and grant-writing or administrative expenses. Unspent funds must be returned, and continuation or completion beyond the original award period or budget requires a new application.

Projects must use the award within the specified 12-month period; the earliest project start date is September 1, 2027.

Applications are accepted from the United States and internationally. Eligible applicants are organizations or their affiliates that have existed for at least one year in the relevant state or province, are tax-exempt under U.S. 501(c)(3) rules or qualify as nonprofit charitable organizations in other countries, and already provide community therapeutic or other service programs. Applicants must designate a qualified Project Leader and Massage Therapy Coordinator, demonstrate that the project will not duplicate existing services and can be sustained after the award period, and provide proof of practitioners’ professional liability insurance. The award project must provide massage and bodywork in conjunction with the organization’s existing community programs.
