MAPS Bulletin Winter 2016: Vol. 26, No. 3 – Annual Report

Download this article.

Each year, the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, presents its year-end consolidated financial report with substantial details about where our income comes from and how our expenses are allocated and prioritized. We do this as a commitment to transparency and an invitation for dialogue. This report describes our most recently completed Fiscal Year from June 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016 (FY16) and consolidates financial information from MAPS, MAPS Inc. (MAPS’ Canadian research operation) and the MAPS Public Benefit Corporation (MPBC), a subsidiary that is 100% owned by MAPS. The MAPS Board of Directors created the MPBC in FY15 to conduct MAPS’ clinical research and eventually to market MDMA as a prescription medicine. Additional information on MPBC can be found at mapsbcorp.com and in a MAPS bulletin article, “Introducing the MAPS Public Benefit Corporation” (Vol.25, #1, p. 4–5).

MAPS’ FY16 Annual Report demonstrates our efforts to strategically leverage the resources that MAPS supporters have so generously empowered the staff to use to transform psychedelics and marijuana into FDA-approved prescription medicines. Medicalization of psychedelics and marijuana is an essential part of our larger mission to mainstream these substances into our culture for a wide range of beneficial uses.

MAPS’ annual financial reports, audits, and IRS 990 forms can be found at maps.org/about/fiscal. If you have any questions or comments about anything in this financial report, or would like to become more involved, we invite you to contact askMAPS@maps.org. We also invite you to donate to MAPS to expedite legal access for many millions of people in the US and around the world to the healing and spiritual potentials of psychedelics and marijuana.

Overview

MAPS’ net revenue in Fiscal Year 2016 (June 1, 2015–May 31, 2016) totaled $5,186,379 from more than 2,500 donors, events, sales, and investments, with $4,687,600 in contributed revenue. Net revenue in FY16 was more than $2 million above the $3,055,686 that MAPS raised in the previous year. Expenses totaled $4,442,419, more than $1.1 million over the previous year’s expenses of $3,256,007 as MAPS expands in preparation for Phase 3 MDMA/PTSD research. In FY16, MAPS increased its net assets by $743,960 to $9,906,814, still less than half of what we anticipate needing to spend on Phase 3 MDMA/PTSD research.

For historical information on overall annual income, expenses and net assets, see Chart 1.

Revenue Review for Fiscal Year 2015-16

The increase in revenue in FY16 can largely be attributed to two new generous donors giving $1 million and $1.5 million. Moshe Tov Kreps pledged $1 million, mostly for MAPS’ research into MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD in Israel. The Tides Foundation pledged $500,000 a year for three years for operational expenses for a total of $1.5 million, with accounting rules requiring booking multi-year grants all in the first year rather than over the years during which the funds will actually be received. A total of $1.65 million of FY16 net revenue of $5,186,379 was in multi-year grants that will be received in future years.

Major support totaling $1,104,080 was received for MAPS’ Phase 3 MDMA-assisted psychotherapy studies; this includes $500,000 for Phase 3 Israeli MDMA/PTSD research, $301,080 for ongoing Phase 3 Therapist Training in which over 60 therapists have already been trained to conduct MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, $150,000 for Phase 3 General Support which has been used to design the Phase 3 protocol and prepare submissions to FDA reporting on our Phase 2 data, select sites, and recruit staff, and $153,000 towards the purchase of a kilogram of GMP MDMA ($400,000 required) for Phase 3 research raised by MAPS and its partner MAPS Canada.

Additional support in the amount of $914,036 was donated for a range of projects. These projects include: $881,003 for the completion of Phase 2 MDMA-assisted psychotherapy projects, $24,249 to support MAPS’ obtaining approval for our study of marijuana for treating PTSD in 76 US veterans (with the approved study itself funded by a $2.15M cost reimbursable grant from the CO Dept. of Public Health and Environment the income of which will be recognized monthly as received over the next three years), $5,000 for future work on the impact of Marijuana on opioid addiction, $2,454 for Ibogaine funding to complete reports on observational studies in New Zealand and Mexico, and $1,300 for Ayahuasca/PTSD research. In total, $1,993,699 was raised for MDMA-related research and $33,003 was raised for Marijuana related and other projects for a total of $2,018,116.

MAPS also raised an additional $503,084 for its educational initiatives. These include $124,435 for psychedelic harm reduction, $18,828 for conference and events, and $359,821 in Fiscal Sponsorships (see Chart 6, Note 1).

The balance of MAPS’ funds raised in FY16, in the amount of $2,732,600, was designated for unrestricted use. Of this amount, $1.5 million is from the Tides Foundation grant of $500,000 a year for three years for operational expenses.

Due to fluctuations in the stock market, MAPS’ FY16 net revenue was negatively impacted by $240,637 in unrealized losses in our portfolio at the San Francisco Foundation as of May 31, 2016. As of the date of the writing of this report almost five months into FY17, these losses have been recovered.

Sources of Revenue in Fiscal Year 2015-16

Following this report is a list of MAPS donors of $120 or more, who along with an additional 1,926 individuals and 11 organizations who donated up to $120, make our work possible. MAPS staff are profoundly grateful for our donors who empower us with resources and also their hopes and trust.

About 90% of net revenue was contributed by 2,547 individual donors and family foundations. In FY16, MAPS saw an 246% increase in the amount of major donations ($20,000+) and a 10% increase in mid-level donations ($1,000–$19,999), with the total number of donors at these levels also increasing from the previous fiscal year. However, grassroots donations (under $1,000) stayed about the same and the total number of grassroots donors decreased. In FY15, the Legalizing Psychedelic Therapy crowdfunding campaign brought in 1,000 donors alone. There was no campaign of this scale in FY16 which explains the decrease in number of grassroots donors in FY16 from the previous year. Overall, the number of donors decreased only slightly in FY16 by about 140, with a renewal rate of 27%. The low renewal rate can be attributed to MAPS crowdfunding campaigns which generally engage large numbers of first-time donors most of whom we have not been able to persuade to renew their support.

Grants revenue of $3.345 million was received from family foundations and donor advised funds. In all cases, we have a pre-existing relationship with the courageous and visionary donors. We a
nticipate eventually obtaining funding from large, more staff-driven, perpetual foundations once we’ve completed negotiations with FDA regarding the design of our Phase 3 MDMA/PTSD studies and can present complete budgets to these foundations which reflect the FDA-approved design of these studies.

In FY16 we celebrated our 30th Anniversary with a banquet and celebration in Oakland, CA. In conjunction with our 30th Anniversary, we launched our Global Psychedelic Dinners, a peer-to-peer campaign raising funds for our purchase of 1 kilogram of GMP MDMA. Over 82 MAPS supporters hosted fundraising dinners in 16 countries which raised over $45,059. A total of $153,000 was raised for GMP MDMA through the efforts of the 30th Anniversary and the Global Psychedelic Dinners. Those who wish to host a Global Psychedelic Dinner still have a chance to do so by visiting psychedelicdinners.org.

MAPS’ long-term account for our assets, The Curing Fund, is managed by the San Francisco Foundation and is invested in the stock market. The Curing Fund began FY16 with a balance of $6,714,261 and experienced a loss of $243,334 (3.6%) as of May 31, 2016. This represents a substantial improvement from the estimated loss of $615,316 reported in February 2016. There were no new contributions made to the fund in FY16 as all major receipts had been used to support operating expenses. About $6.05 million of the Curing Fund funds have been board-restricted to Phase 3 MDMA/PTSD research.

Our fiscal sponsorship program had gross revenue of $359,821, an average 5% administrative fee charged, and the balance disbursed to projects that are in alignment with MAPS’ vision and mission.

Product sales and event registrations combined are each less than 5% of our revenue, but remain important aspects of our work as the income offsets the costs of events and products, which serve to draw new supporters, strengthen our relationships to current supporters, and promote our message.

Expense Review for Fiscal Year 2015-16

In Fiscal Year 2016, program costs totaled 85.9% of all expenses. Programs include Research expenses of $2,161,926 (48.7%), Education and Communication expenses of $1,653,548 which includes Harm Reduction of $287,397 and Fiscal Sponsorships of $351,889 (37.2%). Fundraising expenses were $349,390 (7.8%) and Administrative expenses were $277,555 (6.3%).

Our primary expenditure in FY16 was research into MDMA-assisted psychotherapy with expenses of slightly more than $2 million. MAPS spent $1,099,431 on completing Phase 2 research into MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of PTSD and associated projects and $609,334 was spent in preparation for Phase 3 MDMA/PTSD research. We also continued our study looking at the safety and efficacy of using MDMA-assisted therapy for anxiety in adults on the autism spectrum ($106,310), and continued our study of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for end-of-life anxiety ($197,978). Both studies are expected to be completed by the end of FY17. An additional ($12,783) was spent on the MDMA/PTSD Memory Reconsolidation mechanism of action study.

In FY16 we completed gathering primary outcome data from all subjects in our international series of Phase 2 MDMA/PTSD pilot studies and have gathered almost all of the 12-month follow-up data. In addition to our core MDMA/PTSD drug development research, we continued to prepare, fund and sponsor a series of studies in collaboration with researchers who work with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Center for PTSD using MDMA combined with more traditional methods for treating PTSD including Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). We received FDA and DEA approval for our Charleston CBCT study treating couples/dyads, where one member of the couple/dyad has PTSD and the other member is impacted. In FY16 MAPS spent $37,275 on these collaborative projects. These studies are possible thanks to the work of Dr. Richard Rockefeller who devoted his time and strategic wisdom in deepening MAPS’ relationship with the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Marijuana research expenses totaled $129,714. Nearly all of this covered the costs to develop and obtain approval of the protocol, and set up study sites, for a pilot study in which marijuana will be tested to manage PTSD symptoms in 76 veterans with treatment-resistant PTSD. Half of the subjects will be treated at Johns Hopkins University and half will be treated in Phoenix, Arizona. In FY16 we received all regulatory approvals needed to begin the study, including FDA, DEA, Public Health Services (PHS), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Johns Hopkins IRB, University of Pennsylvania IRB, and the Copernicus IRB. MAPS funds spent on regulatory approval were not reimbursable by our contract with the Colorado Department of Public Health which only became active after all of the approvals had been obtained. MAPS currently has about $80,000 in non-reimbursable expenses for our marijuana/PTSD study. We’ve thus leveraged about $80,000 of MAPS expenses into a $2.15 million grant.

Education expenses of $1,653,548 include events, publications, communications, psychedelic harm reduction, and fiscal sponsorships. Conferences, events, and initiatives had expenses of $491,653. The event with the largest expense was our 30th Anniversary Banquet and Celebration which cost $96,548 and raised more than $153,000 towards the purchase of MDMA for Phase III research. In FY16 MAPS produced nine events and provided sponsorship, speakers, tables, formal representatives, and/or promotional support for 35 outreach events. Expenses on general advocacy were $73,892, Americans for Safe Access (ASA) Medical Marijuana Education and outreach expenses were $107,074, and the successful work to end the NIDA Monopoly incurred expenses of $11,150.

Communications expenses of $522,610 include active engagement in public education through media contacts, website and social media presence, publishing three MAPS Bulletins, 12 Email Newsletters and several books. We maintained maps.org, mdmaptsd.org, mdmaautism.org mapscanada.org, psychedelicscience.org, psychedelicdinners.org, mapsbcorp.com, and zendoproject.org. MAPS experienced a 30% to 100% increase in exposure compared to the previous year in all our social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, and reddit). MAPS also received 394 unique media mentions from online and print publications. Media outlets include: New York Times, NPR, Salon, U.S. News, San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post, NBC Bay Area, Popular Science, Aljazeera, The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Fox 10, VICE, Rolling Stone, The Huffington Post, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Military.com, Military Times, CBS News, Marie Claire, and many more.

Our Zendo Project psychedelic harm reduction program incurred costs of $287,000 with the largest expense of $84,778 being the building of a new cardboard Zendo structure to be used at Burning Man, 91% of which was funded by grants of $77,000. The Zendo Project provided services at 6 major festivals including: Burning Man (Black Rock City, NV), Envision (Costa Rica), AfrikaBurn (South Africa), Lightning in a Bottle (Bradley, CA), Symbiosis (Oakdale, CA), Youtopia (San Diego); and other events such as Bicycle Day (San Francisco, CA), The Denver Cannabis Cup, and more. The Zendo Project also provided on-site harm reduction consultation services to the Electric Daisy Festival in Las Vegas, NV. Over the past two years (2015 to 2016), the Zendo Project has served over 1,516 people, and trained over 666 new volunteers. The Zendo project now has three structures in which to provide a safe and supportive environment at festivals. We’re building awareness and support for the provision of psychedelic harm reduction services through event promoters at events and venues in the US and around the world. At the most recent Burning
Man, in MAPS FY17, for the first time ever, the Burning Man organization (BMorg) included an insert about Zendo in the greeter package given to over 70,000 attendees, and permitted us to state that Zendo provides “psychedelic harm reduction”, rather than the language we’d been required to use in previous years of “psychological support services”. As a result of this greater visibility, Zendo served over 470 guests, three times more than in any previous year. Most astoundingly, the BMorg arranged for Sara Gael, Director of MAPS’ Zendo Project, to speak about Zendo to about 60 federal police from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), who ended up sympathetically supporting Zendo and psychedelic harm reduction at Burning Man.

MAPS continued its long-running Fiscal Sponsorship program in FY16 with donations totaling $359,821. This program supports projects that are in alignment with MAPS’ mission and vision by offering donors a way to provide support for projects conducted by non-501(c)(3) organizations by passing funds through a 501(c)(3) nonprofit sponsor organization. MAPS monitors the project budget, takes a small fee, and sends the donor a receipt for their contribution.

Major contributions include donations of $200,161 for the Ayahuasca Foundation’s research facility in Peru, $45,100 for the International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research & Service (ICEERS) which works towards the integration of iboga, Ayahuasca, and other traditional plants into Western society, $87,753 for the films From Shock to Awe ($43,101), Huxley’s Exit ($30,213), Divinorum ($10,695), the multimedia project “Sublime Visions” ($3,744) dedicated to the therapists and visionaries working with psychedelics as contemporary therapeutic medicines, and donations of $20,231 for several other educational projects including the Bluelight Forum on psychedelic drugs ($13,170), Women’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM) and its educational work in the compassionate use of medical marijuana ($4,200), Global Ibogaine Therapy Alliance (GITA) and its work supporting the sacramental use of Iboga ($8,165), and Cosmic Sister and its work educating the public on the unique psychedelic experiences of women ($1,059).

Fundraising expenses were $349,390. Of that amount, $255,719 are primarily for staff, mail and delivery, donor research and database costs, with another $60,516 for campaigns including premiums for crowd funding and other efforts, and fundraising events and travel and lodging for individual donor visits. Fundraising accounts for 7.8% of MAPS’ expenses.

Operational costs were $277,555. There are the unglamorous but necessary expenses of staffing, office rent, taxes, fees, accounting, information technology, equipment, supplies, and postage. Operations accounts for 6.3% of MAPS expenses.

Projections Fiscal Year 2016-17

As an overview, in FY17 we plan on shifting our focus to multi-site Phase 3 studies required for FDA approval of prescription use of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD. Based on our current timeline, we anticipate submitting our New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA in 2021. In FY17, we’re projecting total research expenses of $3.9 million (63.9%) and about $1.57 million for our communications and public education programs including the Zendo Project and fiscal sponsorship (25.8%), with $632,529 for fundraising and administration (10.3%).

Estimated spending ($6.10M) in FY17 is projected to be almost $2M more than in FY16. Of this amount, programmatic expenses—research ($3.9m) and education ($1.57m)—will account for 89.6% of total expenses. The increase primarily reflects the increased tempo of MAPS’ anticipated early 2017 approval for its Phase III MDMA/PTSD research on which we’ll spend about $2.1 million in FY17. There will be $602,828 in expenses for related Phase 2 MDMA/PTSD projects, which includes completion of follow-ups, publishing results, and several secondary studies conducted with researchers affiliated with the Veterans Administration including the study of MDMA combined with Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) and MDMA combined with Prolonged Exposure. Additional expenditures of $296,283 are projected on other MDMA research projects include MDMA-assisted psychotherapy in people suffering from anxiety as a result of life-threatening illness ($188,736), and MDMA-assisted psychotherapy in autistic adults with social anxiety ($70,210). Phase II marijuana research ($1,010,275) is almost entirely dedicated to MAPS’ investigation into the impact of marijuana on the symptoms of PTSD in 76 US veterans ($1,008,125) with the balance of $2,150 for general marijuana-related expenses. The balance of research expenditures of $6,720 is split amongst MAPS projects on Ayahuasca, Ibogaine, and LSD.

In addition, MAPS Psychedelic Science 2017 conference is expected to cost an additional $569,000 during FY17 (with income anticipated of $625,000). MAPS will be co-hosting our Psychedelic Science 2017 conference in Oakland, California with the Beckley Foundation. PS2017 is a six-day global gathering, featuring three days of conference presentations and three days of workshops, a Sunset Cruise on the San Francisco Bay, the world’s first Psychedelic Comedy Banquet, and more. This is a space for the scientific and psychedelic community to share and discover new research into the benefits and risks of MDMA, LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca, ketamine, ibogaine, medical marijuana, and more. For more info, visit psychedelicscience.org.

We currently project income of $3.37 million from anticipated donors in FY17, about $369,500 less than in FY16. In FY16 we received a large number of new major donations and pledges, over $3 million of which were not initially anticipated. In FY17 we hope to obtain new major contributors but have not included any such donations in our FY17 income projections since these new relationships are still in the process of coming to fruition. Additional funding from the State of Colorado medical marijuana research grant ($1.08M), conference income ($625,000), sales income ($115,000), fiscal sponsorship income ($100,000), and harm reduction income ($28,000) will leave MAPS with a $920,554 deficit between projected income and expenses. This deficit will either be funded from additional donations from existing or new donors, or will be drawn down from MAPS’ net assets, potentially leaving MAPS with $8.98 million at the end of FY17, still less than half of what we anticipate needing for Phase 3 MDMA/PTSD expenses.

Conclusion

FY16 was a remarkably successful year. Expenses were about $1.2 million more than in any previous year in MAPS’ 30-year history yet we still managed to inspire enough donations and multi-year pledges to end the year with a surplus of $743,960. Expenses in FY17 are projected to be about $1.6 million more than in FY16, with a deficit projected to be $920,554. Our challenge for FY17 is to raise sufficient amounts of new, unanticipated donations to more than breakeven, as we expand into Phase 3 MDMA/PTSD research which we are currently estimating will cost $25 million (see Chart 8).

As I write this annual report, I’m looking forward to our FDA End of Phase 2 meeting on November 29, 2016. As you read this annual report, it’s likely to be after that meeting. I feel confident that if that meeting goes well and we are indeed on track to start Phase 3 research, that we will be able to motivate and inspire the new donors that will enable us to expand our research. The need is great for new treatments for PTSD, and our Phase 2 data on safety and efficacy is promising, especially considering that we have been enrolling chronic, treatment-resistant subjects who are the people most difficult to treat. As MAPS moves into its 31th year, , we present this financial report for your review, along with an appeal to existing MAPS donors for continued and expanded support and to new donors who are inspired to join w
ith us in our mission of healing, spirituality, and cultural evolution.

If you have any questions or comments about anything in this financial report, or would like to become more involved, we invite you to contact askMAPS@maps.org.
