Overview

Mission

The foundation for somatic touch continues to maintain the mission of the trager foundation to support the growth and accessibility of all somatic touch and movement professions that utilize touch, movement and client conscious awareness. This includes outreach and collaberation with other organizations in the support and publication of reasearch and case reports. While maintaining fiscal responsibility to ensure continued operations, the primary functions of raising funds, reviewing applications, and awarding research grants will continue. Additional programs such as the case report writing project, which supports somatic touch and movement practitioners as they write about their experiences with the goal of publication of the case reports, will continue in 2026 because of our generous donors and team of volunteers.

What it reported doing in 2025

Presentation of case report at the movement and cognition conference in prague regarding effectiveness of somatic touch therapy with ptsd. Successful case report writing workshop piloted, refined and continuing into 2026.

Operating model

Revenue model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
