What Foundation for Somatic Touch Inc does
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.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
53% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FOUNDATION FOR SOMATIC TOUCH INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
53% of FOUNDATION FOR SOMATIC TOUCH INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $500 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Ohio, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $573 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
