In October 2021, over 1,400 donors gave $287,368 in donations and pledges. We are so grateful to these supporters who advance our shared vision of creating safe and legal opportunities for the beneficial uses of psychedelics.
Donors supported the following initiatives in October: general support ($201,857); MAPS Israel ($50,000); publishing ($32,000); MDMA-related projects ($1,998); health equity ($910); ibogaine research ($500); and harm reduction ($103).
We extend a special thank you to our community of 1,034 monthly donors who contributed a total of $42,452 in October. Your support is vital in making MAPS’ programs sustainable.
In October, MAPS also gained support from 108 individuals in the form of a planned gift or bequest. These planned gifts were made with the help of FreeWill, a free online tool that allows US-based individuals to plan a legacy gift for the non-profit of their choosing.
MAPS is honored to support a number of mission-aligned organizations by providing fiscal sponsorship so that contributions for their social benefit projects may be tax-deductible as allowed by law. An additional $28,099 was donated to organizations that MAPS fiscally sponsors including: Ligare ($25,000); People of Color Psychedelic Collective ($1,625); Enthea ($1,000); The Psychedelic Renaissance ($225); ICEERS ($120); The Psychedelic Therapist ($59); Bluelight ($38); MAPS Canada ($20); Psykia Institute ($10); and Kahpi ($2).
