Currently, MAPS estimates $9-$10 million is needed for European Medicines Agency (EMA)-regulated trials to supplement the data gathered for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Last month, MAPS reached our goal of $2 million raised for this European research program, facilitating the continuation of critical start-up activities for the planned trials in multiple European countries.
In May 2019, MAPS raised $5,884,632 in new donations and pledges from 926 supporters, as well as our corporate sponsor, Dr. Bronner’s. Of that amount, $191,208 was for general support, $4,302,338 for MDMA/PTSD Phase 3 trials, $390,010 for the MDMA Therapy Training Program, $1,077 for other MAPS programs, and $1,000,000 in sponsorships from Dr. Bronner’s.

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.
