In September 2022, over 1,000 donors gave $305,708 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 September: general support ($247,684); event sponsorship ($56,250); health equity ($1,021); harm reduction ($556); and research-related projects ($198).
We extend a special thank you to our community of 848 monthly donors who contributed a total of $24,931 in September. 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 $63,024 was donated to organizations that MAPS fiscally sponsors including: ICEERS ($36,476); Alma Institute ($26,253); Brooklyn Psychedelic Society ($165); Bluelight ($35); Aniwa ($25); The Psychedelic Renaissance ($20); MAPS Canada ($20); Empyrean Temple ($20); People of Color Psychedelic Collective ($10).
