In December 2016, MAPS received over $286,862 in new donations and pledges from 879 supporters.
We’re proud to say that before the New Year, MAPS exceeded our fundraising goal of $174,000 for the purchase of one kilogram of GMP MDMA to be used in our Phase 3 studies of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD. Thanks to all of you, we raised over $252,000 total in only 43 days. The amount we raised above our goal will be used for encapsulation and labeling of the MDMA. Matching grants of $55,000 were offered during this campaign thanks to our generous supporters Justin Rosenstein ($15,000), Britt Selvitelle ($30,000), and the Sarlo Foundation ($10,000). In December, Justin Rosenstein and Pasha Thornton hosted fundraising events for MAPS, raising over $27,000 combined.
Each and every supporter helped us reach this point. In 2017 we move into our final Phase 3 studies, which marks a major milestone in MAPS’ history. Thank you for your commitment!

MAPS relies on the generosity of individual donors to achieve our mission. Psychedelic science is again being conducted under federal guidelines, but no funding for psychedelic psychotherapy research is yet available from governments or major foundations that aren’t family foundations.
