In November 2019, MAPS raised $3,270,713 in donations and pledges from 992 supporters. Of that amount, $2.7M was a multi-year pledge for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) MDMA, $2,725 for MDMA research, $8,473 for the Zendo Project, $200 for ibogaine research, and $559,314 was for general support. Additional funds were raised for fiscal sponsorships ($75,528) and by MAPS Canada ($42,125).
We launched our annual year-end fundraising campaign, Expanding Psychedelic Medicine, on November 19, 2019. We are humbled by the generosity of our community. Over 740 donors helped us exceed our initial fundraising goal of $400,000! We are particularly grateful to our supporters who offered matching grants including John A. Griffin ($100,000), Frank Kavanaugh ($25,000), Matt Khoury ($15,000) and the TinMan Fund ($10,000).
Our stretch goal for 2019 is to raise $600,000 by December 31, 2019. Help us meet our goal by making a tax-deductible gift today. Donors who establish a $15 monthly donation, or increase their existing monthly gift by $5 will receive a special edition pin. Pins are 1.5″ in diameter. Available until December 31, 2019, or while supplies last.
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.
Together, we can legalize psychedelic medicine.
