December Giving Report: Breakthrough for Psychedelic Medicine

Currently, MAPS seeks $9 million for European Medicines Agency (EMA) trials to supplement the data gathered for the FDA, with $897,735 already raised and roughly $8.1 million still to go. We have completed key negotiations with EMA, and we will have an ever more precise estimate of timetables and costs for Phase 3 EMA trials in mid-2019 after completion of our negotiations with each country in the EMA in which we will have a Phase 3 site, and with each site.

In December 2018, MAPS raised $743,855 in new donations and pledges from 1,671 supporters. Of that amount, $508,215 was for general support, $131,290 for Phase 3, $64,250 for therapist training, $40,000 for Expanded Access, and $100 for other projects.

We extend a special thanks to those who so generously supported MAPS last month:

MAPS relies on the generosity of individual donors to achieve its 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.

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