This year has been monumental for MAPS and the field of psychedelic science. As we reflect on 2019 and prepare for 2020, we feel incredibly grateful for the support of our community.
Within the past 40 days, 1,105 international donors have contributed $588,431 in support of MAPS’ psychedelic research and education, fulfilling our initial $400,000 year-end fundraising goal and exceeding our first stretch goal of $500,000.
Our final stretch goal of 2019 is to raise $600,000 in donations by December 31. Help us fulfill this intention by inviting your friends to learn about MAPS and asking them to make a tax-deductible donation of any size.
