About Gorilla Massage Fund

Purpose

Gorilla Massage Fund, a Fiscally Sponsored Program of United Charitable, a registered 501(c)(3), raises money to provide grants for massage and alternative therapies to people who are in chronic pain from multiple sclerosis.

Many people with MS use massage for relief of symptoms. Massage can help relax and enhance range of motion exercises. Massage can increase blood flow through superficial veins by friction. It can increase capillary dilation through light stroking. Many find massage can help keep life full, active and satisfying.
‍
Licensed practitioners in the “Gorilla Network” must agree to reduced-cost services for grant recipients.  Gorilla Massage Fund will support each recipient with four (4) initial massages.  Continued support will be subject to re-evaluation. 

The maximum we will reimburse is $50 per visit.
