Creating a world where the benefits of acupuncture are known and available to all
A group of global volunteers dedicated to promoting the power of acupuncture through unbiased information, research, and outreach.

OUR FOUNDING STORY
The Acupuncture Now Foundation (ANF) was founded in 2014 by a diverse group of people from around the world who were concerned about common misunderstandings regarding acupuncture and wanted to help acupuncture reach its full potential. All of our Officers and Advisors are volunteers who receive no payment for their service to the ANF.

The ANF has particular interest in public outreach campaigns, the role of research, and encouraging the development of acupuncture best practices. We are open to working with existing acupuncture-related organizations and do not discriminate between different practice related schools of thought or practitioner types. We seek to become the clearing house of “all things acupuncture” and to actively disseminate accurate information about its strengths and weaknesses. We are a Non-profit foundation in the U.S. and gratefully accept donations to help fund our mission.
