Canadian Healing Touch Foundation
The Canadian Healing Touch Foundation (CHTF) is a not-for-profit Canadian Charity established in April, 1995. The purpose of the CHTF is to receive and distribute funds to assist, encourage and advance the philosophy, objectives and techniques of Healing Touch.
CHTF provides funds in the form of bursaries to individuals requiring financial assistance to attend educational courses in Healing Touch.
The CHTF depends upon tax-deductible donations, instructor tithing, and fund-raising activities to be able to help these individuals. CHTF can receive funds in many ways including money, property, stocks, bonds, and securities. Please contribute and help us to help others. CHTF is run by volunteers, so all donations received are used to help students of Healing Touch.
What is Healing Touch?
Healing Touch is an energy therapy which affects a person's bio-field. Practitioners work within the bio-field to facilitate physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing. We constantly receive testomonials on how Healing Touch has helped many people in their healing process and betterment of their lives. Healing Touch is a heart-centered Energy Medicine modality.
Bursaries

Fundraising
We are sure that you can find many creative ways of setting aside some money in order to fund your yearly donation, but in case you need ideas, here are a few that might inspire you.
Fundraising Ideas
Label a coin purse or "piggy" bank 'CHTF' and:
- Feed the piggy with change from your wallet.
- Occasionally feed it the cost of a treat.
- Feed it proceeds from a moving or garage sale.
- Feed it money collected from refundable recyclables. Perhaps a few neighbours or family members would be willing to give you theirs to help you out.
- Collect your change during a HT conference. Leave this in an envelope at the CHTF table or feed our piggy bank.
- If you have a Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter account, post a link to our donation page during the annual Healing Touch Day or Giving Tuesday.
- Donate in honour of or in memory of someone special.
The CHTF accepts e-transfer donations using chtf1995@hotmail.ca or Canada Helps.

Other ideas for your HT community
- During your HT practice sessions have a CHTF piggy bank available for practitioners' coins. Regularly total it up and forward it, with the completed CHTF donation form, to the Foundation.
- If your HT community is holding a local event, workshop or conference, have a bowl with candies or chocolates with a request to support the CHTF.
- Some local organisations where your HT community offers treatments or promotes HT might be willing to make a donation to the CHTF as a way of thanks.
Contact us at chtf1995@hotmail.ca with your ideas; we would love to hear from you!
