Massage Therapy Foundation Giving Campaigns
 

 

Your contribution to the Massage Therapy Foundation will help to advance the knowledge and practice of massage therapy by supporting scientific research, education, and community service.

 
 

Annual Giving Campaign
Each year the Foundation conducts an Annual Giving Campaign. Individuals, vendors, and schools are solicited each fall for their support of the Massage Therapy Foundation. To see a list of donors who contributed in the 2010 Annual Giving Campaign, click here.

Donors can contribute to the Annual Giving Campaign at any level they see fit.  Here is a list of benefits associated with giving each level.

If you have questions about the Annual Giving Campaign, please contact Colleen Leeders, Development Manager, for more information.


Chapter Giving Campaign
The Dollar-Per-Member Chapter Campaign was spearheaded by the AMTA New York Chapter – and followed by three other AMTA Chapters (IL, CT, and CO) – as a way for AMTA Chapters to support the Foundation.

Today, chapters are finding unique and creative ways to support the Foundation aside from just donating a $1 per member.  The 2010 Chapter Giving Campaign raised almost $54,000 with 38 chapters participating. See Chapters who contributed in 2010.

If your Chapter has a unique fundraising idea to help support the Foundation please contact, Colleen Leeders, Development Manager, for more information.


Ways to Support the Foundation

Honorary & Memorial Gifts
A gift in honor or in memory of someone special in your life is a unique way to celebrate a person’s commitment to massage therapy. The honoree or the next of kin will be informed of your donation with a personalized letter from the Foundation. The names of all people remembered with a memorial or honorary gift will be listed on our website and in our annual report. To make an honorary or memorial gift, click here.

Donor Testimonials

“Hygenic/Performance Health supports evidence-directed practice. We support the Massage Therapy Foundation's commitment to advancing the massage therapy profession through research. It's an honor to contribute to the Foundation in helping fulfill their mission.”  -Lynda Solien-Wolfe LMT, NCTMB Hygenic/Performance Health
 



“I’m excited to support an organization that adds such value to my chosen profession. The Massage Therapy Foundation contributes so much to research and case reports and I’m continually impressed with the depth and breadth of the reports.”  - Doreen Rossi

 

“We began donating to the Foundation in 2003 because we saw it as an opportunity to support the profession in areas that are often overlooked.  We’re proud that our donation helps in three ways:  (1) to fund research for a greater understanding of massage, (2) to educate practitioners, the public, and other healthcare providers, and (3) to help fund massage programs for populations in need.  It’s a great way to give back to the profession that has been supportive of our company.”
- Books of Discovery Staff




"As a veteran massage therapist, I am delighted to have the opportunity to contribute quarterly to the Massage Therapy Foundation. The foundation, in its support of evidence-based research and clinical studies, community projects, and up to date literature reviews, has elevated the standing of our profession by validating with science what we already know and experience with our hands and hearts." - Kate Jordan, HHP, NCTMB, CSCS
