Dear Friend,

Whether you've recently joined an online or in-person class, found inspiration through our blog, attended a free Open House or seasonal qigong Tuning, explored our Teachable courses, or enjoyed one of our summer retreats, we’re grateful to have you as part of this extraordinary community.

As the Tai Chi Foundation (TCF) enters its 50th year, your support is more crucial than ever. Together, we can continue our mission to improve health and balance worldwide.

With your help, we can achieve an even greater impact. Please consider making a contribution.

Help Us Achieve TCF's 2025 Priorities:

Expand Student and New Teacher Scholarships

Attending out-of-town retreats and workshops can be challenging for some students, especially those studying to become teachers. The Tai Chi Foundation helps bridge this gap by offering scholarships. Your donations allow students and aspiring teachers to participate in these programs. This support covers travel and training costs and is crucial in developing our teaching staff and ensuring TCF's next generation.

Bringing Senior Teachers to Schools Everywhere

This year, many of our senior teachers traveled across the country and sometimes the world to bring their expertise to workshops and retreats. Your support helps us provide professional development for teachers and helps subsidize the costs of bringing teaching staff where they're needed most.

Reaching Out to New Communities

Thanks to our upgraded website, enhanced social media presence, blog posts, and newsletters, TCF's outreach has grown significantly over the past few years. Now, we’re eager to extend the benefits of tai chi and qigong to even more people. With your help, in 2025, we plan to develop curriculum materials—both video and written guides—tailored for specialty groups, such as individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Your donations will enable us to create targeted content that meets these specific needs by leveraging the expertise of our advanced teachers.

Making History—Let's Preserve Our Legacy for Future Generations!

As TCF begins to celebrate our 50th anniversary, we have a unique opportunity to document the teachings of our legacy holders and senior teachers. Your support will help fund the video production and archiving of this invaluable knowledge, preserving TCF’s teachings for future generations while restoring important footage of our founder, Patrick Watson.
