In May 2022, over 1,100 donors gave $675,834 in donations and pledges to MAPS. 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 May: research-related projects ($425,543); general support ($167,491); Health Equity ($50,000); harm reduction ($32,800).
We extend a special thank you to our community of 844 monthly donors who contributed a total of $26,913 in May. Your support is vital in making our programs sustainable.
We are 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 $206,964 was donated to organizations that we fiscally sponsor, including: ICEERS ($108,327); Brooklyn Psychedelic Society ($53,500); Ayahuasca Foundation ($32,700); Empyrean Temple ($11,880); Alma Institute ($261); People of Color Psychedelic Collective ($160); Psykia Institute ($100); MAPS Canada ($20); Bluelight ($16).
