July 2018 Giving Report: Fundraising for Zendo Project Psychedelic Peer Support Services

MAPS is currently seeking $8.6 million for European Medicines Agency (EMA) trials to supplement the data gathered for the FDA, with $397,735 already raised and roughly $8.2 million still to go. MAPS will have a clearer estimate of costs for Phase 3 EMA trials after we completes our negotiations with EMA and each individual European country, probably by early to mid-2019.

In July 2018, MAPS raised $378,000 in new donations and pledges from 917 supporters.

On July 16, MAPS began fundraising for the Zendo Project, a harm reduction program of MAPS, which provides peer support services at festivals and events around the world. We’ve raised over $100,000 including an $8,000 matching grant from the Riverstyx Foundation which has been entirely matched. Our new stretch goal is $130,000. Find out more here.

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 non-family foundations.

Help us reach our goal to make MDMA a medicine by 2021 by establishing a monthly gift of $10 or more. maps.org/donate
